The Los Angeles Dodgers will play the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 1 of their series at Chase Field on Monday night.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are 11-4 this season and have won three of their last four games. Los Angeles is coming off of a series win against San Diego, where they won two of the three games. The Los Angeles pitching staff has a 2.22 ERA, a 0.95 WHIP, and a .191 opponent batting average this season. The Dodgers offense has scored 82 runs with a .245 batting average and a .333 on base percentage. Freddie Freeman is batting .322 with three home runs and nine RBI’s this season for the Dodgers. The projected starter for Los Angeles is Walker Buehler, who is 1-1 this season with a 4.02 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP over 15.2 innings pitched.
The Arizona Diamondbacks are 6-10 this season and have won three of their last five games. Arizona is coming off of a series loss against the Mets, where they lost two of the three games played. The Arizona pitching staff has a 3.36 ERA, a 1.27 WHIP, and a .232 opponent batting average. The Diamondbacks offense has scored 49 runs with a .189 batting average and a .286 on base percentage this year. Daulton Varsho is batting .216 with four home runs and eight RBI’s for the Diamondbacks this season. The projected starter for Arizona is Merrill Kelly, who is 1-0 this season with a 0.59 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP over 15.1 innings pitched.
Los Angeles is 5-1 in their last 6 Monday games and 58-21 in their last 79 games. The under is 5-1 in Los Angeles’ last 6 Monday games. Arizona is 43-107 in their last 150 games and 2-6 in their last 8 home games. The over is 4-1 in Arizona’s last 5 Monday games. The over is 7-3-1 in these two teams last 11 head to head meetings. Los Angeles is 39-15 in these two teams last 54 head to head meetings.
This will be a very interesting matchup to see if Kelly can continue to dominate against one of the best teams in baseball. Buehler has got off to a slower start than most had anticipated, but has not been bad by any stretch of the imagination. I like the Dodgers to win this game as they are the better team and have absolutely owned Arizona recently, but I am taking the under in this game.
