Scherzer improved his record to 9-2 (with a 4.32 ERA) on the season with a victory over the Indians last time out, holding the Tribe to two runs on four hits over 5 2-3 innings of work.

The righthander has now won three straight starts, and Detroit is 4-0 in his past four trips to the mound as he makes money for his supporters.

Scherzer won a career-high 12 games in 2010 over 31 starts.

Countering for the Dodgers on Tuesday night will be Chad Billingsley, who has been completely ineffective over his past two starts.

Righthander Billingsley (5-6, 4.65 ERA) was pounded in back-to-back outings by the Reds and Rockies, surrendering a combined 13 runs on 22 hits over just 8 2-3 innings of work. Billingsley fanned six but walked five in those contests.

Prior to that bump in the road Billingsley had actually been paying off for bettors, winning three straight starts from May 24 to June 5 over the Astros, Rockies, and Reds.

Los Angeles remains mired at the bottom of the Bodog MLB futures list, sitting at 100/1 odds to win the World Series and at 50/1 odds to claim the NL Pennant. The Dodgers are fourth in the NL West and well back in the NL Wild Card standings.

The Tigers, meanwhile, are at 11/1 to win the AL Pennant and at 20/1 to win the World Series as they try to move past the Indians and into top spot in the AL Central standings.
