Dodgers vs Diamondbacks Prediction
The Dodgers are going to be favored because they’re the Dodgers, and they’re at home, and they have a HOF on the mound in Ohtani. I get it. However, we’re getting two times our money with a respectable team in the Diamondbacks and a pitcher in Rodrgurez who has been impressive through 108 innings. Rodrgiez has a 2.25 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and .219 allowed batting average. I’ve said from the start that there are going to be chances to fade these Dodgers and these inflated prices and that this team won’t be profitable long term. This feels like one of those spots. Give me the Diamondbacks.
