Prediction

Dodgers 7, Diamondbacks 2

Money line (ML)

You can’t risk more than two times your potential return on the Dodgers (-210), even if there is a more than good chance they take care of the scuffling Diamondbacks (+210).

AVOID, and look to the run line instead.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

DODGERS -1.5 (-120) are a much better bet on the run line. Weaver has been pitching well lately, but he has been a disaster on the road.

While Gonsolin doesn’t go terribly deep into games, that’s actually a good thing. The Dodgers rank second in the majors with a 2.94 ERA.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 8.5 (-125) is worth a small-unit play only. While Los Angeles should be able to get their fair share of runs, Arizona is always a concern. Case in point, Monday’s game ended up a 5-1 win for the home side as the Under easily connected. However, the Dodgers should be able to pile up more runs against the struggling Weaver.
