Dodgers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 6, Diamondbacks 3
Moneyline
BET DODGERS (-144).
While this is a relatively expensive play, it is the best team-specific one. The Dodgers have the best record in the MLB and the 2nd-best record at 33-21 following a loss. They brought in Flaherty to strengthen their rotation from Detroit, and he has done just that.
Los Angeles should have the advantage on the mound to start. Meanwhile, Arizona is just 7-11 as a home underdog which sits in the bottom half of the league.
Take DODGERS (-144).
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
Both teams are playable on the spread, and the Diamondbacks have reasonable value as a home run-line underdog. However, the Dodgers’ moneyline is the safer and preferred play here.
Over/Under
BET OVER 8.5 (-118).
The bats for both sides have been red hot as of late.
The Diamondbacks are 77-54-6 O/U on the season and have gone Over in 6 of their last 7, scoring at least 6 runs in 3 straight games. Arizona has tallied 39 runs over its last 5 games.
The Dodgers are 5-0 O/U in their last 5 and 8-2 O/U over their last 10. Los Angeles has scored at least 6 in 4 of its last 5 games. Take OVER 8.5 (-118).
