Diamondbacks at Dodgers picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 7, Diamondbacks 3
Money line
The Diamondbacks just don’t win many games against the Dodgers. They are 4-13 against them and 1-6 at Dodgers Stadium, picking up their 1st win of the year there Tuesday night.
Bumgarner has been fairly ineffective over the last 6 weeks.
The Dodgers are baseball’s No. 1 home team at 51-19. They should win this game, but the price doesn’t make it worth your time. PASS.
Run line/Against the spread
The Dodgers have beaten the Diamondbacks by 3 or more runs 6 times this season.
The Diamondbacks have lost by 3 or more runs 5 times in Bumgarner’s last 9 starts and 12 times overall when he pitches.
Eleven of the Dodgers’ last 13 wins have been by 3 or more runs.
Take the DODGERS -2.5 (+102).
Over/Under
The total in 6 of Bumgarner’s last 8 starts has been 9 or more runs.
So far, only 8 of the 17 games between the 2 teams have had totals of 9 or more runs.
But between Bumgarner’s run of 7 starts with 5 or more runs allowed in his last 9 and a bullpen ERA of 4.58, if Arizona only musters 2 or 3 runs, it should be enough to hit the Over Wednesday.
Take OVER 8.5 (-115).
