Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
I’m on the Dodgers in this one. I got the short end of the stick with Ohtani being scratched from his start on Friday, but I’m expecting Yamamoto to go here and I think Yamamoto delivers a strong outing in this game. Brandon Pfaadt has been solid since returning from injury, but in the end I’m still not expecting much from him and I think the Dodgers take care of business and exact some revenge. Give me Los Angeles -1.5.
