Diamondbacks vs Dodgers Prediction
The Dodgers are favoured because they’re the Dodgers and Wrobleski has been solid. However, the value remains with the Diamondbacks and the plus money. The Dodgers aren’t winning enough to be laying these prices. Also, Rodriguez is an All-Star with a 2.71 ERA and 1.24 WHIP through 136.1 innings. Rodriguez has consistently given the Diamondbacks quality starts, and that creates value with the plus money. I’ll gladly take the Diamondbacks at this price.
