The Arizona Diamondbacks (18-23) and Los Angeles Dodgers (22-18) kick off a four-game set Monday at Dodger Stadium with a 10:10 p.m. ET first pitch. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers odds with MLB picks and predictions.
LHP Madison Bumgarner is the projected starting pitcher for the Diamondbacks. He is 4-2 with a 4.12 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, 10.1 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9 over 43 2/3 IP through 8 starts.
Bumgarner started the season 0-2 with an 11.20 ERA across his first three starts, but he has rattled off four wins across his past five starts with no losses.
He allowed four hits and no walks with a season-high nine strikeouts across seven scoreless innings against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday.
RHP Walker Buehler is the projected starting pitcher for the Dodgers. He is 1-0 with a 3.45 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, 9.5 K/9 and 0.6 BB/9 over 44 1/3 IP across 7 starts.
Buehler allowed four earned runs, four hits and a walk with eight strikeouts over seven innings in a no-decision against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday.
He has allowed at least one homer (seven total) across his past five starts, including three long balls against the M’s on Tuesday.

Prediction
Dodgers 4, Diamondbacks 2
Money line (ML)
The Dodgers (-200) are a little too expensive despite the fact they have one of their best pitchers on the bump. The Diamondbacks (+165) should put up quite the fight, as MadBum is rolling along and giving them a chance to win each time out.
AVOID.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
DODGERS -1.5 (+110) are a much better play on the run line. The Dodgers lost the series finale to the Marlins Sunday by a 3-2 score, but they had won the previous four games, all by two or more runs.
In fact, each of L.A.’s past seven wins has also cashed the run line. That includes Buehler’s most recent start.
Over/Under (O/U)
The lean is the UNDER 7 (-120), as Bumgarner is rolling right along, and the runs will be at a premium against Buehler, too.
The Under hit for L.A. in the final two games of its series against Miami, while the Under is 6-3 across the past nine for Arizona.
