Los Angeles Finishes the Weekend Sweep
This should be another pretty good Major League Baseball game. This is a great Sunday Night Baseball matchup.
Tony Gonsolin is the veteran in this one, and he is the one that we are betting on here. The veteran will go against a youngster, that has struggled a bit as of late. Betting the Los Angeles Dodgers -136 over the Houston Astros is the bet to make here.
