Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks Preview & Picks

Los Angeles are backed to bounce back from last night's loss.

The Dodgers are swinging the bat well and can take advance of a struggling Arizona pitcher in Zach Gallen.

  • Los Angeles Dodgers are 7-2 in their last 9 games
  • Arizona Diamonbacks are 5-8 in their last 13 games
  • Arizona starter Zach Gallen is 1-4 with a 3.48 ERA
  • The 2 starting pitchers have a combined 7.08 ERA

Head To Head

  • The regular season series is tied at 1-1
  • Arizona Diamondbacks won 4-3 when the two teams last met on April 30

Los Angeles Dodgers Form

Los Angeles entered this series having rebounded from a rough run by winning six times in a seven-game spell.

The Dodgers made a solid start to the season by winning 11 of their first 17 games, but their form then cooled off as they lost five times in six games.

They steadied the ship against the New York Mets though, avoiding a series sweep with a 10-0 shutout win, and they built on that over their next two series.

Los Angeles went out on the road to Washington and won all three meetings with the Nationals, 4-1, 11-2 and 2-1.

The Dodgers then headed to Toronto and won the first two games against the Blue Jays, 12-2 and 4-2, before dropping the final meeting, 3-1.

Arizona Diamondbacks Form

Arizona came into this series on the back of a win, but having lost seven of their previous 11 games.

This sequence started at home as the Diamondbacks were beaten 5-3 by the Chicago Cubs, and they then lost 5-0 in San Francisco.

They responded with a 17-1 demolition of the Giants, and then bounced back from a 7-3 loss to split the series with a 5-3 victory.

Arizona then moved on to St Louis and dropped two of their three meetings with the Cardinals, losing 5-3 and 5-1 either side of a 14-1 victory.

The Diamondbacks then lost the first two games of the series in Seattle, 6-1 and 3-1, but avoided being swept as they took the final meeting 3-2.

Verdict

Zach Gallen has been getting himself into trouble early in recent outings, and that spells trouble against a Dodgers team who are hitting well.
