Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks Preview & Picks

Los Angeles are tipped to bounce back from last night's loss to the Diamonbacks.

The Dodgers bats disappointed in the series-opener, but they have been on fire this season and can benefit from facing a shaky pitcher in Eduardo Rodriguez.

  • Los Angeles Dodgers are 9-3 in their last 12 games
  • Arizona pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez is 1-3 with a 5.92 ERA
  • The Over has cashed in 7 of the previous 8 meetings
  • 7 of the last 8 meetings have produced over 10.0 total runs

Head To Head

  • Los Angeles Dodgers lead the all-time series 269-203
  • Arizona Diamondbacks won 5-3 when the two teams last met in May 8

Los Angeles Dodgers Form

Los Angeles travelled to Arizona on a good run of form, having won nine of their previous 11 games.

The Dodgers started this sequence at home as they rebounded from a 3-0 shutout loss to Pittsburgh with 8-4 and 9-2 victories over the Pirates.

They backed that up by sweeping Miami in three games, beating the Marlins 7-6, 15-2 and 12-7.

Los Angeles’ streak reached seven games as they then went out on the road to win 2-1 and 10-3 in Atlanta, but they failed to complete the sweep as they lost the finale 4-3.

The Dodgers rebounded in Miami though, as they sandwiched a 5-4 defeat to the Marlins with 7-4 and 10-1 victories.

Arizona Diamondbacks Form

Arizona came into this series on a rough run of form, having lost nine of their previous 14 games.

The Diamondbacks’ disappointing run began as they lost back-to-back meetings with Tampa Bay at home, 7-6 and 7-4.

They avoided being swept thanks to a 6-4 win over the Braves, and they rebounded from an 8-3 defeat at the New York Mets with 4-3 and 4-2 wins.

Arizona then moved on to Philadelphia where they lost back-to-back games to the Phillies, 3-2 and 7-2, before winning the series finale 11-9.

The Diamondbacks failed to build on that however, as they returned home to sandwich a 5-1 victory against the Mets with 5-4 and 7-1 defeats.

Verdict

The Dodgers disappointed in the series opener, but they are still the better of the two teams.

Rodriguez has been beat up on so far this season, leading to multiple losses for the Diamondbacks, so we are backing Los Angeles to get back on track.
