MLB Baseball Odds: Pirates at Dodgers

Hiroki Kuroda will look to build on arguably his best start of the season this afternoon as the Los Angeles Dodgers try to complete a three-game home sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Kuroda is 1-0 with a 2.08 ERA in two career starts against the Pirates, and for a while Tuesday night it looked like he’d be taking the mound looking to keep the majors’ worst road team from its first series victory in an opposing park since mid-May.

Instead, Kuroda can pitch the Dodgers to their first sweep since beating Cincinnati three times July 20-22.

Kevin Hart, who will start for the Pirates, will try to end a four-start losing streak during which he’s posted a 6.65 ERA.

The righthander issued a career-high six walks and yielded four runs in five innings of an 8-5 loss to the Chicago Cubs last Wednesday.
