Recent Form

The Arizona Diamondbacks will look to bounce back from a 12-3 blowout loss to the Dodgers. After playing to a 2-2 tie in the first inning, Arizona finished the 2nd inning already down 6-2. The Diamondbacks gave up an additional 3 runs in the 6th.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have now lost 3 straight games to the Dodgers. Their losing streak also extends into their previous series with the Cubs, putting their total losing streak at 5 games.

In Tuesday’s 12-3 win over Arizona, the Dodgers got a quality start from Tyler Anderson. For the game, he lasted 7 innings, giving up just 2 runs on 7 hits. Anderson was also able to rack up 7 strikeouts. Trae Turner, Freddie Freeman, and Edwin Rios combined for 10 RBIs.

With yesterday’s win, the Los Angeles Dodgers have rattled off 4 straight wins. This string of success has made up for their 4 game losing streak that directly preceded their hot stretch of play.

Arizona Diamondbacks at Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

In his first outing against Arizona, Walker Buehler pitched a complete game, giving up just 3 hits and 0 runs. However, there isn’t any value in grabbing the Dodgers on the moneyline. Instead, I recommend taking the Dodgers on the runline. In his previous outing against LA, Zach Davies had his shortest start of the year, lasting just 4 innings, giving up 3 earned runs. Look for the Dodgers’ offense to find success against Davies yet again.
