MLB Free Pick: Take the Dodgers. According to latest MLB trends, Los Angeles is 53-21 in its last 74 games against the Pirates, and 29-13 in its last 42 trips to Pittsburgh. Meanwhile, the Pirates are just 7-19 in Morton’s last 26 stars and 1-5 in his last six outings when they play the National League West. The Dodgers haven’t been the most consistent bunch this year, but at +114 they’re being offered at a nice price against a team they’ve beaten twice in the last two nights.
