Diamondbacks vs Dodgers Prediction
The Dodgers are going to be favored because they’re the Dodgers and Yamamoto is on the mound. I get it. However, the Dodgers keep getting priced like this, and they have yet to win a game this month. The Dodgers have won just two games since July 26. The Diamondbacks are fighting for a playoff spot, and Pfaadt has been one of the best pitchers in baseball since July. Pfaadt has allowed 34 hits and 6 earned runs in his last 35.1 innings. The value has to be with the Diamondbacks and a chance to make 1.5 times your money. Laying this price with the Dodgers in their current form is nuts.
