Dodgers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 5, Diamondbacks 3
Moneyline
The DODGERS (-145) are the play, even though they have had some difficulty with the Diamondbacks so far this season.
The high-priced Dodgers are still 19-7 in the past 26 trips to Arizona and the Diamondbacks are just 12-40 in the previous 52 meetings overall. The Snakes have to start winning more frequently before they can be trusted against the Dodgers.
Run line/Against the spread
DODGERS -1.5 (+110) are worth a roll of the dice at plus money.
L.A. won by 3 or more runs in each of its 5 victories this season, so if you like it to win, you should like L.A. to cover the run line too.

The Under is 6-1-1 in the past 8 road games for the Dodgers while going 18-7-1 in the past 26 vs. RHP dating back to last season.
