Dodgers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 7, Diamondbacks 5

Money line

The Dodgers have caught fire again. They have won 9 of their last 11 games. The Diamondbacks have bounced back from getting swept by the Dodgers in a 4-game series and have won 5 of 6 games since then.

The Dodgers just have dominated the Diamondbacks in recent history. They lead the season series 5-2 this year after winning 16 of 19 matchups in 2021 and 8 of 10 in 2020.

Castellanos has allowed 2 HR in each of his last 2 starts.

The Dodgers are the right pick, but it is a little too pricy to bet the money line as a single bet. Include a Dodgers win in a parlay bet or PASS.

Arizona is 4-3 ATS in 7 games against the Dodgers this season.

Of the Dodgers’ 29 wins, 26 have been by at least 2 runs. As a general rule, if they win the game, they cover the spread.

The Dodgers have averaged 6.1 runs per game in their last 11 contests. They have scored the most runs in the league all season and in the last 30 days.

Take OVER 9.5 (-110).

Dodgers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Diamondbacks 3

Money line

PASS on the money line.

The Dodgers have dominated the Diamondbacks in recent history. They won 16 of 19 games last season and went 12-7 against them in 2021. Buehler has never lost to Arizona while Kelly is 0-4 in 7 career starts against the Dodgers.

While the Diamondbacks have pitched well so far this season with a team ERA of 3.36, everything points to a Dodgers win. But betting them on the money line doesn’t make sense as a single bet because of the price. PASS.
