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. Los Angeles had its 4-game win streak snapped Sunday but is still 10-3 over its last 13. The Dodgers are 37-31 on the road and 68-69 against the spread (ATS) on the season.

The Diamondbacks, who sit 2nd in the NL West, have struggled as of late, losing 3 of their last 4. They snapped a 3-game losing streak with the win Sunday; however, Arizona is still 8-4 over its last 12. The Diamondbacks are 39-30 at home this season and 72-65 ATS.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

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).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Arizona Diamondbacks (76-60) welcome the LA Dodgers (82-54) to Chase Field for the 3rd game of a 4-game series Sunday. First pitch is set for 4:10 p.m. ET. 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: 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
  • 2024 away stats: 1-0, 5.17 ERA (15 2/3 IP, 9 ER), 1.15 WHIP, 5.2 K/9 in 3 starts
  • Has never faced Diamondbacks

Pfaadt (8-7, 4.31 ERA) makes his 27th start. He has a 1.17 WHIP, 1.9 BB/9 and 8.4 K/9 through 154 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 4 2/3 IP, 6 ER (8 R), 8 H, 1 BB, 6 K in 8-3 home loss to New York Mets Tuesday

[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).

Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Dodgers (81-54) face the Arizona Diamondbacks (76-59) on the road Saturday night for the 2nd game of their 4-game series in Phoenix. First pitch from Chase Field is at 8:10 p.m. ET. 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.

  • Last start: No decision, 7 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, 7 K in 3-1 home win over Tampa Bay Rays Sunday
  • Had a no-decision in 12-4 home loss to Arizona July 3, allowing 4 ER and 7 H in 3 IP
  • Allowed on 2 ER in last 3 combined starts (19 IP)
  • 0-1 with 8.00 career ERA in 2 starts vs. Arizona

Kelly (4-0, 3.98 ERA) makes his 8th start. He has a 1.18 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 7.1 K/9 through 40 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 4 ER, 7 H, 3 BB, 5 K in 7-5 road win over Boston Red Sox Sunday
  • 2-0 with 6.75 ERA in 3 starts since returning from injured list
  • 0-11 with 5.49 ERA in 16 career starts vs. Dodgers

[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).

Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Dodgers (19-13) take on the Arizona Diamondbacks (14-17) Wednesday in the finale of a 3-game set at Chase Field at 9:40 p.m. ET. 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 1-1

The Dodgers took a 3-2 lead in the 10th Tuesday night but gave up a walkoff homer in the bottom half. They mustered just 5 hits in the 4-3 loss. The Dodgers are 7-3 over the last 10. SS Mookie Betts has gone 0 for 6 in the series. He’s hitting .368 with 18 extra-base hits, 29 R and 23 RBIs, which is why that mini-slump is even relevant.

1B Christian Walker sent the home crowd home happy with a 2-run walkoff homer. He’s starting to turn it up, hitting .283 with 7 HR and 22 RBIs on the season. The D-Backs have won 2 of 3 after a tough 4-6 road trip.

Dodgers at Diamondbacks projected starters

RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs. LHP Jordan Montgomery

Yamamoto (2-1, 3.54 ERA) makes his 7th start. He has a 1.07 WHIP, 1.9 BB/9 and 11.9 K/9 in 28 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 0 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 7 K against Washington Nationals Thursday
  • Utilizing his splitter more (27.2%), and it has rendered a .088 OBA
  • Has 37 K’s to just 6 BB on the season

Montgomery (1-1, 2.77 ERA) makes his 3rd start. He has a 0.93 WHIP, 0.7 BB/9 and 4.8 K/9 in 13 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 7 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 1 BB, 4 K vs. St. Louis Cardinals last Wednesday; he threw 5 shutout IP in that start before faltering
  • 2 career starts vs. Dodgers: 0-2, 5.91 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, 10 K in 10 2/3 IP

Dodgers at Diamondbacks odds

Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 1:10 p.m. ET.

  • Moneyline (ML): Dodgers -140 (bet $140 to win $100) | Diamondbacks +120 (bet $100 to win $120)
  • Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Dodgers -1.5 (+120) | Diamondbacks +1.5 (-145)
  • Over/Under (O/U): 9 (O: +100 | U: -120)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dodgers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Diamondbacks 3

Moneyline

Yamamoto has been filthy, and we’re going with the Dodgers here. However, the rule of the thumb with the Dodgers is to go with the RL (see below for the angle).

Instead of paying -140, let’s go with YOSHINOBU YAMAMOTO OVER 5.5 K’S (+110). The D-Backs are hard to whiff, but we’re betting on Yamamoto’s stuff here. He has 7, 9, 6 and 8 K’s in his last 4 GS.

Run line/Against the spread

Of the Dodgers’ 19 wins, only 4 of them have been by a single run.

Take the DODGERS -1.5 (+120) and plan on using this rule of thumb fairly often when you can get it at least at even money.

Over/Under

We’re expecting it to be around 86 degrees Wednesday night with a straight-line wind from left to right field at 7 mph. The D-Backs are 3-6-1 O/U over their last 10, and the Dodgers are 5-5. The Over is just 4-6 in the last 10 head-to-heads as well.

Take the UNDER 9 (-120).

Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Dodgers (19-12) look to keep it rolling as they take on the Arizona Diamondbacks (13-17) for the 2nd game of a 3-game set Tuesday at Chase Field. First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. ET. 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: Dodgers lead 1-0

Los Angeles won the series opener 8-4 Monday, cashing as a -139 favorite. It was the 1st time the NL West rivals met since Arizona completed a 3-game sweep in a 2023 NLDS. The Dodgers bullpen delivered 4 scoreless innings while allowing just 2 baserunners, relieving SP James Paxton, who earned the win despite giving up 4 earned runs and issuing 5 free passes.

Dodgers at Diamondbacks projected starters

RHP Landon Knack vs. LHP Jordan Montgomery

Knack (1-1, 3.27 ERA) makes his 3rd career start. He has a 1.00 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9, 7.4 K/9 in 11 innings. Both of his prior outings — the first 2 of his MLB career — came against the Washington Nationals.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 3 BB, 5 K in 11-2 victory at Nationals Wednesday
  • Predominantly throws 4-seam fastball and slider

Montgomery (1-1, 2.77 ERA) makes his 3rd start as a member of the Diamondbacks. He features a 0.92 WHIP, 0.7 BB/9, 4.8 K/9 in 13 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 7 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 1 BB, 4 K in 5-1 defeat at St. Louis Cardinals Wednesday
  • Career vs. Dodgers: 0-2, 5.91 ERA (10 2/3 IP, 7 ER), 3 HR, 3 BB 10 K in 10 2/3 IP
  • 2.0% walk percentage is tied for 5th lowest out of 358 pitchers who have pitched at least 10 innings

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dodgers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Diamondbacks 4

Moneyline

BET DODGERS (-112).

Montgomery may have the edge in the starting pitching matchup. But the Dodgers certainly have the bullpen advantage, especially as the D-backs deal with not having their regular closer RP Paul Sewald, who is out with an oblique injury. Entering Tuesday’s action, the Dodgers ‘pen boasts a 3.64 ERA, good for 4th best in the NL compared to Arizona’s 4.61 ERA, which is 6th highest.

L.A. has the offensive advantage over not just the Diamondbacks, but the entire league when it comes to runs scored (166), hits (295), RBI (162), batting average (.275) and OBP (.353). Expect the Dodgers to win their 8th out of their last 9 games Tuesday night at Chase Field.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The juice on Diamondbacks +1.5 (-170) is too much to lay to get a run and a half against the 1st-place Dodgers.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 9.5 (-108).

Montgomery has looked solid even though he signed on the 2nd day of the regular season, as GM Mike Hazen praised the pitcher’s “low heartbeat” and ability to throw strikes.

Knack held a surprisingly .500 Nationals team to 2 earned runs in each of his 2 starts, and he’s averaged an impressive vertical break on his 4-seam fastball.

With Chase Field rating out as the 5th lowest in terms of HR production on Baseball Savant, the potential for major damage from the heavy hitters on both teams is on the lower side.

Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Dodgers (18-12) open a 3-game road series against the Arizona Diamondbacks (13-16) Monday night. First pitch for the opener is at 9:40 p.m. ET (MLB Network). 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: First meeting of 2024, Tied 8-8 (including postseason) in 2023.

The Dodgers had a 6-game winning streak snapped Sunday in a 3-1 road loss to Toronto. Starter Michael Grove allowed a 3-run 2nd inning and the offense only had 6 hits and a run.

The Diamondbacks salvaged 1 game of their series on the road against Seattle, winning the finale 3-2 behind starter Brandon Pfaadt’s career-high 11 strikeouts. The win snapped a 3-game skid.

Dodgers at Diamondbacks projected starters

LHP James Paxton vs. LHP Tommy Henry

Paxton (2-0, 2.61 ERA) makes his 5th start. He has a 1.55 WHIP, 7.4 BB/9 and 4.8 K/9 through 20 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: No decision, 4 2/3 IP, 1 R, 5 H, 3 BB, 1 K in 4-1 road win over Washington Tuesday
  • Making 1st career appearance vs, Arizona

Henry (1-1, 5.55 ERA) makes his 6th start. He has a 1.60 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 and 8.9 K/9 through 24 1/3 IP.

Dodgers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Diamondbacks 2

Moneyline

The Dodgers have held opponents to 3 or fewer runs in 7 straight games and in 9 of their last 11.

The Diamondbacks have been held to 3 or fewer runs in 4 straight games and in 8 of last 11. They are 2-10 in games in which they score 3 or fewer runs, picking up their 2nd such win on Sunday.

But the Dodgers usually win by more than 1 run when they win, so because I like them to win the opener, it’s better to go with the plus-odds on the run line.

PASS. 

Run line/Against the spread

Of the Dodgers’ 18 wins, 14 have been by 2 or more runs.

The Diamondbacks’ last 7 losses and 12 of their 16 losses all season have been by 2 or more runs.

BET DODGERS -1.5 (+110).

Over/Under

Four of Henry’s 5 starts this season have had more than 10 total runs. But the Diamondbacks have had 4 consecutive games without surpassing 10 total runs and 9 of their last 11 game have not reached 11 runs.

Six of the Dodgers’ last 8 games have stayed below 11 runs.

BET UNDER 10 (-105).

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: Diamondbacks lead 2-0

Los Angeles has logged just 4 runs and 3 extra-base hits over the 1st 2 games of this series. Starters Clayton Kershaw and Bobby Miller gave the Dodgers a combined 2 innings, and L.A. has been playing from behind.

Arizona pitching owns a 2.25 ERA across 4 postseason games. Including the last dozen regular-season games, the Diamondbacks are 10-6 with a 2.87 ERA since Sept. 17.

Dodgers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Diamondbacks 4

Moneyline

Few October games will have a pitching match-up that looks as bad on paper as this one. Lynn coughed up 44 home runs in the regular season, logged a 6.07 ERA on the road and has not pitched in 12 days. Pfaadt is a rookie who notched a regular-season ERA of 6.46 at home and has been shellacked by these Dodgers twice in as many starts.

Look for a bit of a zag against those lofty ERA figures. Both hurlers had some marginal rates play a bit of havoc with their surface numbers. Both may also be long gone when many of the key innings of this one are played out. Look for the bullpens — both well rested — to be heavily involved, and that favors the visiting Dodgers, whose regular-season 3.42 ERA ranked 3rd in MLB.

FanDuel Sportsbook has the best tag here: BACK THE DODGERS (-144).

Run line/Against the spread

L.A. does win a lot of games by big margins, but trying to get Lynn and his gopher-itis through 4-5 innings may turn an early lead sour.

Over/Under

Look for a lot of bullpen arms creating good match-ups for the defense. And the leather portion of Arizona’s defense is top-notch.

Nine-and-a-half runs is a lot for a nervy postseason setting. TAKE THE UNDER 9.5 (+100).

Dodgers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Diamondbacks 4

Moneyline

Arizona was in 1st place in the NL West on July 8 but has now fallen to 10 games behind the Dodgers in the division. Los Angeles has been the much better side lately and I see no reason to trust this Diamondbacks team.

Arizona has not scored more than 4 runs in a game since July 26. Meanwhile, the Dodgers are averaging an MLB-best 8.67 runs over their last 3.

BET DODGERS (-130).

Run line/Against the spread

The Diamondbacks had to put up 2 runs in the 9th inning to get the backdoor cover Tuesday. While Arizona +1.5 (-155) will likely hit again, there’s no need to pay the higher price on the run line when Los Angeles ML is the better play.

PASS. Bet the moneyline and/or the total instead.

Over/Under

The Over is 37-18-3 (67.3%) this season in Dodgers road games. While Arizona will likely score fewer than 5 runs, Los Angeles’ offense should be able to do most of the heavy lifting in this one and at least get the total to push.

LEAN OVER 9 (-120).

Dodgers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 7, Diamondbacks 4

Moneyline

Los Angeles (-160) should win for the 7th time in 8 games, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when the Dodgers should win by multiple runs.

PASS. Bet the run line and/or the total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

The Diamondbacks have not been playing a lot of close games lately, and 19 of their last 23 losses have been by multiple runs.

The Dodgers are 35-22 on the run line in road games this season — 4th best in the majors — and should have no trouble scoring runs against an inexperienced pitcher in Pfaadt.

BET DODGERS -1.5 (+100).

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

Urías has struggled on the road this season, while Pfaadt has allowed 5 or more earned runs in 3 of his 5 career starts at Chase Field.

The Over is 24-11-2 (68.6%) this season when the Dodgers are road favorites and 8-5 when the Diamondbacks are coming off 1 day of rest.

BET OVER 9 (-120).

Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks odds and lines, with expert MLB picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (5-3) continue a 4-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks (4-4) Saturday. First pitch at Chase Field is scheduled for 8:10 p.m. ET. 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: Series tied 3-3

The Dodgers picked up a 5-2 win in the series opener Thursday but dropped Friday’s game 6-3 and have managed just a 3-3 mark against the Diamondbacks to date, alternating wins and losses. The Under is 3-1-1 in the past 5 games for Los Angeles.

The Diamondbacks doubled up the Dodgers by outhitting them 10 to 5. OF Corbin Carroll and 3B Evan Longoria each swatted their 2nd home run of the season in the victory.

Dodgers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Diamondbacks 3

Moneyline

The DODGERS (-145) are the play, even though they have had some difficulty with the Diamondbacks so far this season.

The high-priced Dodgers are still 19-7 in the past 26 trips to Arizona and the Diamondbacks are just 12-40 in the previous 52 meetings overall. The Snakes have to start winning more frequently before they can be trusted against the Dodgers.

Run line/Against the spread

DODGERS -1.5 (+110) are worth a roll of the dice at plus money.

L.A. won by 3 or more runs in each of its 5 victories this season, so if you like it to win, you should like L.A. to cover the run line too.

Over/Under

UNDER 9 (-105) is worth a roll of the dice based on the trends.

The Under is 12-3-1 in the past 16 games at home for the Diamondbacks dating back to last season, while going 6-0 in the past 6 at home against a right-handed starting pitcher.

The Under is 6-1-1 in the past 8 road games for the Dodgers while going 18-7-1 in the past 26 vs. RHP dating back to last season.
