Money line (ML)
The Dodgers shut out the Snakes 3-0 in the series opener and have won eight of their last 10 games. They are now 19-15 on the road and 5-0 against Arizona.
The Diamondbacks are riding a 15-game losing skid and have only three wins in their last 35 games.
It doesn’t look like they will get a W Saturday, either, with the undefeated Buehler on the mound.
Take the DODGERS (-225).
