Arizona Diamondbacks vs LA Dodgers Prediction

I’m on the over here. We’ve now cashed five straight overs in this head-to-head matchup, with each matchup seeing at least 11 runs and this is one of the most questionable pitching matchups of this series. Sure, Pfaadt’s been able to eat innings and the Diamondbacks have won 9 of his last 11 starts, but Pfaadt has an ERA over six in his last six starts spanning the last month, and the Dodgers have been able to get to him. On the other side, Wrobleski’s a spot starter at best that’s given up a lot of hard contact and home runs, and the Diamondbacks’ offense has woken up in this series against lefties. Give me the over.
