MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 7:50 a.m. ET.
Moneyline (ML)
The Dodgers are again big favorites in Arizona at -278 while the Diamondbacks are +240. Arizona has lost four in a row and have only won twice in the last 19 games, while the Dodgers have won seven of 10. There isn’t much of a payout, but betting the Diamondbacks seems foolish right now. Take the DODGERS -278.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The Dodgers are -2.5 (-110), a big spread Wednesday, with the Diamondbacks at +2.5 (-110). The Dodgers have the fifth-highest cover percentage in baseball this season and the Diamondbacks have the seventh-worst. Arizona’s offense has been bad, as has their bullpen play. Arizona got the extra-inning cover on Tuesday but have struggled this year against Kershaw. Take the DODGERS -2.5 (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
The total is set at nine runs, -110 on either side. The two teams combined for 19 runs Tuesday night but that was, by far, an aberration for Arizona. Only one of Kershaw’s starts this season has seen the total go higher than nine runs. Take the UNDER 9 RUNS.
