Dodgers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions
Prediction
Diamondbacks 6, Dodgers 4
Moneyline
BET DIAMONDBACKS (-112).
The Diamondbacks have struggled as of late, but they still have a dynamic offense and will have the better pitcher on the mound. Arizona has won 5 of Pfaadt’s last 6 starts. It has also performed well over the last month at home, having won 7 of 12 games at Chase Field in August.
The Dodgers have a more inexperienced starter taking the mound and were 2-3 in their previous 5 road games coming into this series. Take DIAMONDBACKS (-112).
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
There’s no great value here. The Dodgers as run-line favorites are too risky, while the Diamondbacks are too expensive as run-line underdogs. Avoid this play.
Over/Under
BET OVER 9 (-122).
The Dodgers have gone Over in 4 straight games, scoring at least 6 runs in each. They are 72-61-3 O/U on the season and 5-2 O/U in their last 7 road games.
The Diamondbacks are 76-54-6 O/U on the season and 5-1 O/U in their last 6 games. Arizona is 11-3 O/U in its last 14 games, scoring at least 6 runs in 8 of those 14 outings. Considering those trends, take OVER 9 (-122).
