MLB odds, lines, picks: Advanced computer model includes the Pirates in parlay for Wednesday, Aug. 30, that would pay more than 6-1

The National League West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers attempt to complete a three-game sweep when they host the wild card-contending Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday (10:10 p.m. ET) at Dodger Stadium. Los Angeles (82-49) cruised to a 9-1 victory on Tuesday, its third consecutive overall win and fourth straight at home.

For Wednesday, Los Angeles is a -179 favorite while Arizona is a +150 underdog, per SportsLine consensus. The over/under for total runs scored is 9.5. The game is one of six on the MLB schedule for Wednesday evening. (See up-to-date lines for every game on our MLB odds page.)
