Preview
The Arizona Diamondbacks and the Los Angeles Dodgers meet again to play a 4-game series at the Diamondbacks Park in Arizona. The Dodgers destroyed the Diamondbacks in their last series as they swept them 4-0.
Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers get here with a 29-14 record and have won 8 of their last 10 games. The team is averaging .246 at bat scoring 5.49 runs per game while allowing 3.14 runs. Freddie Freeman is batting for .310 AVG. Mookie Bets leads with 12 home runs and Trea Turner has 34 RBI.
Dodgers starter Walker Buehler leads with a 2.91 ERA, 42 strikeouts and 6 wins recorded for the Dodgers.
Probable Pitcher:
Mitch White (0-0, 6.17 ERA) will take the mound in the 1st game of the series for the Dodgers. White will stay in the rotation for a second turn despite being lit up for three runs on three hits and a walk over 2.1 innings in his first start last weekend in Philadelphia.
Arizona Diamondbacks
The Diamondbacks get to this game with a 23-22 record and have lost 5 of their last 6 games. The team is averaging 4 runs per game and allowing 4.3 runs. Christian Walker leads with 11 home runs and 20 RBI.
Merrill Kelly leads the team with a 3.49 ERA, 42 strikeouts and 3 wins recorded for the Dbacks.
Probable Pitcher:
Humberto Castellanos (2-1, 4.15 ERA) will be on the mound for the Diamondbacks in the 1st game of the series. Castellanos allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five in 5.1 innings to earn the win over the Cubs on Friday.
BETTING TRENDS
The total has gone OVER in 10 of LA Dodgers' last 14 games.
LA Dodgers are 9-2 SU in their last 11 games.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Arizona's last 5 games.
Arizona are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games.
Prediction
The Dodgers have the best offense in the MLB and are averaging over 5 runs per game while the Dbacks have improved their offense as well averaging 4 runs per game. Los Angeles will send Mitch White to the mound and he allowed 3 runs in his first start this season. Castellanos will start for the Dbacks and he's holding a 4.50 ERA with 14 strikeouts across 16 innings pitched in his last 3 starts. I think the play here is the over as both pitchers will allow 3 or more runs each.
PICK: Over 9.5 (-110)
