Money line (ML)
The Dodgers have beaten the Diamondbacks in all six meetings this season and have won eight of their last 10 games overall. They have won both of Gonsolin’s previous starts this year.
The Diamondbacks are reeling, having lost 16 in a row and 30 of their last 32 games – they are simply not a team you can bet on to win right now.
Take the DODGERS (-200).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The Dodgers are 5-1 ATS against the Diamondbacks this season and have covered the spread in seven of their last nine games.
The Diamondbacks have covered the spread only once in their last seven games and only three times in their last 15. They are 11-17 ATS in divisional games.
Take the DODGERS -1.5 (-125).
Over/Under (O/U)
Saturday’s game went over the projected total but the Dodgers have seen only one of their last six games do so. Both of Gonsolin’s starts this season have had totals of four or fewer runs.
Only one ballpark has a higher over percentage than Chase Field’s 67.7%, but the Diamondbacks are now down another offensive player with C Carson Kelly fracturing his wrist Saturday night. They have not scored more than three runs in any game against the Dodgers this season and have not scored more than three runs in the final game of their last four series.
Take UNDER 9.5 (-110).
