Shane’s Free Pick
Pfaadt has been pitching better as of late, and he’s going to step up against the Dodgers here. Look for the Dodgers to score only one or two runs off of him, and that will be the difference. The Diamondbacks haven’t been as good on the road, but they are going to get the job done here. Back the Diamondbacks.
