MLB FORECASTER SCHEDULE-ADJUSTED OVER/UNDER LINE: 88.2 (1st, NL WEST)

VEGAS OVER/UNDER LINE: 91.5 (5Dimes); 91.5 (LVH); 90.0 (Atlantis) 

RECOMMENDATION: The line appears fairly close, but given that the Dodgers have disappointed in recent seasons, I'm saying the Under is the safest bet with this team.
