Prediction

The Dodgers refuse to slow it down even with having clinched the playoff berth and will go for another win by sending Clayton Kershaw to the mound who has been pretty solid lately and dominated the Dbacks the last week holding them to zero runs across 7 innings pitched. Merrill kelly will face the Dodgers who has lost three times against them this season. The Dbacks have been struggling and facing the Dodgers at home it's going to be a nightmare. Take the Dodgers to take care of businees at home.

PICK: Dodgers -1.5 (-120)
