Diamondbacks at Dodgers: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips
MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 1:55 p.m. ET.
Moneyline (ML)
The Dodgers are favored fairly heavily at -200 with the Diamondbacks at +180 as big road underdogs. If there is a game Arizona can win, it is this game, but they just have struggled so much offensively. The Dodgers have won three in a row and eight out of 10.
The D-Backs are on a three-game skid and have lost nine of 10. Their only win was Gallen’s last start. They are 5-2 when Gallen starts, so this is the game to take Arizona. Go with the DIAMONDBACKS (+180).
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Diamondbacks to win returns a profit of $18.
Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The Dodgers are favored at -1.5 (+105) with Arizona at +1.5 (-129). Since we are going with the upset pick straight up, we certainly expect the D-backs to cover, although they have been a terrible bet to cover all season.
DIAMONDBACKS +1.5 (-129).
Over/Under (O/U)
The total is set at 7.5 runs after the two teams pushed the total Tuesday. Only two of Gallen’s seven starts have gone Over. Buehler will keep the Diamondbacks from scoring a lot and Gallen will deal as he has all season. Take the UNDER 7.5 (-110).
