Prediction
Dodgers 8, Diamondbacks 6
Moneyline (ML)
The Dodgers are again big favorites in Arizona at -223 while the Diamondbacks are +195. Arizona has lost five in a row and have only won twice in the last 20 games, while the Dodgers have won eight of 10. There isn’t much of a payout, but betting the Diamondbacks seems foolish right now. Take the DODGERS -223.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The Dodgers are -2.5 (100), a big spread Wednesday, with the Diamondbacks at +2.5 (-121). The Dodgers have the fifth-highest cover percentage in baseball this season and the Diamondbacks have the seventh-worst. Arizona’s offense has been bad, as has their bullpen play. Arizona has managed to cover both games in this series, and the offense has improved a little bit. Because of the large spread, take the DIAMONDBACKS +2.5 (-121).
Over/Under (O/U)
The total is 9.5 runs for the series finale, -110 on either side. They have combined for more than nine runs in each of the first two games of the series. Three of Bumgarner’s starts have gone for more than nine runs combined. Take the OVER 9.5 RUNS.
