The Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks meet Sunday in MLB action at Chase Field. The Dodgers look for a win after winning nine of their last 11 games. The Diamondbacks are still looking for their first win since June 1.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have scored 12 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last 10 games. The Dodgers have won nine straight games when scoring more than one run. Justin Turner leads the Dodgers with 66 hits and 37 RBI while Mookie Betts and Chris Taylor have combined for 116 hits and 64 RBI. Tony Gonsolin gets the ball, and he is 0-0 with a 3.38 ERA and nine strikeouts this season. Gonsolin is 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA and 12 strikeouts in his career against the Diamondbacks.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have scored six runs in their last three games and three or less runs in eight of their last 12 games. The Diamondbacks haven’t won a game when scoring three or less runs since April 4. Pavin Smith leads the Diamondbacks with 68 hits and 24 RBI while Eduardo Escobar and David Peralta have combined for 126 hits and 80 RBI. Alex Young gets the ball, and he is 2-4 with a 3.86 ERA and 32 strikeouts this season. Young is 0-2 with a 5.00 ERA and 17 strikeouts in his career against the Dodgers.
The Dodgers are 37-14 in their last 51 Sunday games and 87-42 in their last 129 overall. The Diamondbacks are 1-5 in their last 6 Sunday games and 11-41 in their last 52 overall. The under is 4-0-1 in Dodgers last 5 overall. The over is 6-2 in Diamondbacks last 8 overall. The Dodgers are 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Arizona and 19-7 in the last 26 meetings.
I’ll continue to say it until things change; the Diamondbacks should be faded no matter the circumstances. The Diamondbacks haven’t won a game in over two weeks and they get crushed in most of these losses. I don’t care who they’re playing or who is on the mound, the Diamondbacks should not be backed in their current form. Give me the Dodgers and the RL for max betting value.
