LA Dodgers vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

I’m on the over here. If I had to pick a side, I’d likely be on the Dodgers, but Stone was already hit hard by the Diamondbacks once this season and Arizona’s still decent against right-handed pitching as of late. The problem for Arizona as we’ve seen plenty of times before is that their bullpen is extremely shaky and against a loaded lineup like the Dodgers, it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest to see them get hit. Give me the over in another offensive matchup.
