Diamondbacks vs Dodgers Prediction

We’re getting plus money with the Diamondbacks at home and the better pitcher. I have to take it. Lauer has been awful this season with a 5.95 ERA and 1.39 WHIP, and it was bad enough for the Blue Jays to let him walk. Meanwhile, Soroka looks like he can make his second All-Star team with a 3.25 ERA and 1.20 WHIP. He’s coming off a May where he allowed 24 hits and 6 runs in 30.1 innings. In 34.1 innings, Soroka has a 1.57 ERA and a .240 batting average allowed. The Dodgers are favored because they’re the Dodgers and a heavy public team. I’ll gladly take the Diamondbacks on Tuesday night.
