Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

I’m on the over here. Both starters historically have had issues against the opposition and right now, the over has been prevalent with two fairly high-scoring games so far in this series seeing a combined 19 runs. I also think the bullpens can contribute here when all is said and done, so give me the over.
