LA Dodgers vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

The LA Dodgers are going to get the benefit of the doubt, especially at home, but these lines continue to be iNFLated. The Arizona Diamondbacks are still a good team that’s been able to find success in the last few weeks, and it’s not like Bobby Miller is some trustworthy pitcher given his struggles this year and lack of consistent reps. Ryne Nelson is also holding current Dodgers to a .147 batting average and 8 strikeouts in 34 at bats. You can do a lot worse on Tuesday night than siding with the Diamondbacks for a chance to make 1.7 times your money.
