Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

I’m on the Dodgers here. I get the case to be made for either side here after the Diamondbacks got the job on on Friday to provide some value, but the Dodgers still have had success with Glasnow going and for me, this is a fade against Eduardo Rodriguez more than anything else. I think that the Dodgers get some revenge here and as such, I’ll roll with Los Angeles in this one.
