Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 6-6

The Dodgers lost to the Diamondbacks 14-3 Sunday after winning the first two games of the series 10-9 Friday and 8-6 Saturday.

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).

Season series: Dodgers lead 6-5

The Dodgers beat the Diamondbacks 10-9 Friday and 8-6 Saturday, closing as favorites in each. Los Angeles has rallied off 4 straight wins and is 10-2 over its last 12. The Dodgers, who are 68-68 against the spread (ATS), have won 37 of 67 road games. They sit atop the NL West.

The Diamondbacks are 38-30 both at home and on the road this season. Arizona struggled to end August, losing 4 of its last 5, all of which were at home. The Diamondbacks have won 7 of their last 11 games overall and 7 of their last 11 at home despite their recent struggles.

Dodgers at Diamondbacks projected starters

LHP Justin Wrobleski vs. RHP Brandon Pfaadt

Wrobleski (1-1, 4.68 ERA) makes his 6th start. He has a 1.20 WHIP, 3.2 BB/9 and 6.5 K/9 through 25 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 5 IP, 4 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 3 K in 7-6 road loss to St. Louis Cardinals Aug. 16

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

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).

Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 5-5.

The Dodgers won the opener Friday 10-9, as they survived Arizona’s 4-run rally in the bottom of the 9th. They have won 3 straight games and 9 of their last 11. They lead the NL West by 5 games over Arizona and San Diego.

The Diamondbacks have lost 3 of their last 4 games but won 6 games in a row before that. They are tied with San Diego for the Wild Card lead in the NL.

Dodgers at Diamondbacks projected starters

RHP Gavin Stone vs. RHP Merrill Kelly

Stone (11-5, 3.33 ERA) makes his 25th start. He has a 1.21 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 7.4 K/9 through 135 1/3 innings.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dodgers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 7, Dodgers 6

Moneyline

The Dodgers have not won consecutive games in a series against Arizona this season.

The Diamondbacks have not lost consecutive games in a home series since dropping 2 in a row to the Atlanta Braves July 8-9.

And while Kelly has not had success against the Dodgers in his career, Stone has not been great in 2 career starts against Arizona.

And since 7 of the 10 games between the 2 teams this season have had 10 or more total runs, expect a bit of a slugfest.

BET DIAMONDBACKS (+110). 

Run line/Against the spread

The Diamondbacks are 10-7 ATS as home underdogs this season but 16 of their last 17 covers have been outright wins. Friday’s cover in a loss was the first such cover in a loss since July 8.

And since their covers are typically outright wins, choosing to bet the -155 odds to cover over the +110 moneyline bet for them to win isn’t a good value play.

PASS. 

Over/Under

Seven of the 10 games between the 2 teams have had at least 10 total runs.

Six of Arizona’s last 8 games and 5 of the Dodgers’ last 8 games overall have reached double digits in runs.

BET OVER 9 (-120).

Mets at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 7, Mets 4

Moneyline

The DIAMONDBACKS (-115) haven’t lost a home series since losing 2 out of 3 to the Minnesota Twins June 25-27. They are 8-1 in Nelson’s last 9 starts. They have scored 7+ runs in 6 of their last 9 games.

The Mets are 12-3 in Peterson’s starts and have won his last 4 outings.

But the Diamondbacks are just too hot to bet against them in a series-clinching win.

BET DIAMONDBACKS (-115).

Run line/Against the spread

The Diamondbacks’ last 18 covers have been outright wins, so it is better to bet the moneyline over +1.5 (-185).

But since their last 8 wins have been by multiple wins, you might consider betting DIAMONDBACKS ALTERNATE SPREAD -1.5 (+175) for some bigger winnings.

Over/Under

Five of the 6 meetings between the teams have had at least 9 total runs.

Nine of the Diamondbacks’ last 12 games have had 9 or more total runs. They themselves have scored 7 or more in 6 of their last 9.

BET OVER 9 (+100).

Mets at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 6, Mets 3

Moneyline

The Diamondbacks (-125) have not lost consecutive home games since losing 2 straight July 8-9 to the Atlanta Braves. They have not lost a home series since losing 2 out of 3 to the Minnesota Twins June 25-27.

They are one of the hottest teams in baseball.

The Mets haven’t won consecutive road games since winning 2 in a row at the Colorado Rockies Aug. 7-8.

Expect the Diamondbacks to bounce back and even the series. While the -125 odds on the moneyline are fine, the plus odds on the run line are too good to pass up.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The Diamondbacks’ last 7 wins and 8 of their last 10 have been by 2 or more runs.

Seven of the Mets’ last 10 losses have been by multiple runs.

BET DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+165).

Over/Under

Six of the Diamondbacks’ last 8 games have had more than 8 runs. They have scored 7 or more in 5 of their last 8 games.

Four of the 5 meetings this season have had 9 or more total runs.

Mets at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 6, Mets 4

Diamondbacks at Red Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Red Sox 7, Diamondbacks 4

Moneyline

Kelly is making his 3rd start off a lengthy stay on the IL (shoulder). Both he and Houck are fade candidates with how their surface ERAs line up with expected marks.

Streaking though they are, the Diamondbacks figure to be too far out over their skis with their season record. The opposite holds true for Boston, and the Red Sox have been undone by some clutch-hitting failings of late.

BOSTON (-135) is a slight lean in this series finale. The current pricing with an Over lean makes the Crimson Hose an even better value on the Run Line.

Run line/Against the spread

Look for a lot of lefty bats in both lineups and for that to work against Kelly more than Houck. The Arizona hurler has a history of high walk rates against swingers from the opposite side.

On a warm day with both bullpens needing rest, Sunday’s contest could well be a loose one. The return on the Red Sox here is solid.

BACK BOSTON -1.5 (+155).

Over/Under

Arizona’s bats are surging; Boston’s are more due than they are slumbering. Both starters have some fade lean.

TAKE THE OVER 9.5 (-115). Consider making this one a partial-unit play unless the pricing gets more favorable.

Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Diamondbacks vs. Red Sox odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Arizona clobbered Boston 12-2 in Friday’s series opener. The Diamondbacks have scored 22 runs over their last 2 games, and they have now averaged 7.42 runs per game over their last 12.

With Friday’s setback, the Red Sox are just 2-5 over their last 7 home games.

Diamondbacks at Red Sox projected starters

RHP Zac Gallen vs. RHP Kutter Crawford

Gallen (9-6, 3.85 ERA) is lined up for his 22nd start. He has a 1.32 WHIP, 3.0 BB/9 and 8.3 K/9 through 110 IP.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Diamondbacks at Red Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Red Sox 5, Diamondbacks 4

Moneyline

Crawford has been beaten up in the 2nd half, logging an 8.90 ERA in a half-dozen starts. Barreled-up baseballs leaving the premises have been the problem. But the fact he has allowed just 2 extra-base hits over his last 10 2/3 IP could well be the sign of a turn.

Gallen is the better pitcher, but he has not been in good form of late and has been a shaky proposition on the road at times. He has yielded 9 runs over his last 12 road frames and for the season owns a 4.69 ERA, 1.46 WHIP away from Phoenix.

In their last 6 games after being routed by 5 runs or more in the game prior, the BoSox have gone 6-0.

BOSTON (-110) is the value side here.

Run line/Against the spread

More juice, more problems. AVOID.

Over/Under

An analytics drill-down on this match-up nets almost exactly zero lean here.

But peg 9.5 as being a slightly inflated number, and with both bullpens being in a good availability state, the UNDER 9.5 (-105) gets just a bit of a nod.

Diamondbacks at Red Sox projected starters

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Diamondbacks at Red Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Red Sox 5, Diamondbacks 4

Moneyline

Boston was sharp in taking 2 of the last 3 games in a series at the Baltimore Orioles last weekend and in taking 2 of 3 at the Houston Astros earlier this week. For the season, the club has scored 4.94 runs per game while allowing 4.72 RPG. Analytics would make a case both numbers could be improved significantly.

Bello gets a lot of ground balls. but he’s been partially undone by a high rate of fly balls finding the unplayable side of outfield walls. He’s done well to limit hard contact of late and is a pick to click at home where the right-hander has registered a 3.42 ERA over his last 4 outings.

The Snakes own an .826 OPS over the last 14 days, but that figure is buoyed by a .322 batting average on balls in play. Nelson has pitched quite well in the 2nd half, but BOSTON (-134) is a side with some value.

Run line/Against the spread

More juice equals less leverage. PASS.

Over/Under

Look for solid pitching from both starters. Both clubs come in with a day of rest and some reset to the back ends of bullpens.

It’s just a slight lean, and it requires some holding of the nose, but the UNDER 9.5 (-106) looks like the value side here.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Diamondbacks at Marlins picks and predictions

Prediction

Marlins 6, Diamondbacks 5

Moneyline

Montgomery has been the Diamondbacks’ least consistent starter this season. He has allowed 4+ runs in 7 starts this season.

Munoz hasn’t been good this month, posting an 8.25 ERA, but the Marlins haven’t been swept since losing 3 games to the Houston Astros July 9-11.

BET MARLINS (+140).

Run line/Against the spread

In 9 of the last 10 games that the Marlins have covered the spread, they have won outright.

The Diamondbacks are 6-16 ATS on the road as favorites this season.

So while betting the run line isn’t a bad wager, the +140 odds on the moneyline are better.

PASS. 

Over/Under

Twelve of Montgomery’s 19 starts have had at least 9 runs.

Seven of Arizona’s last 10 games have had totals of 9 or more runs.

Nine of Miami’s last 14 games have reached 9 or more total runs.

BET OVER 8.5 (-105).
