Dodgers vs Diamondbacks Prediction
The teams traded wins recently, as each recorded five in the previous ten H2H encounters. The Dodgers did win four of the last six, but I am backing the Diamondbacks in this one because of the pitching matchup and Burnes' qualities over May's. Burnes allowed four runs in his last three starts in total, while May allowed 14 runs in his last three starts. Burnes allowed a .205 BA in 88 at-bats against the Dodgers, and I believe he will manage to limit them in the opening few innings. Back the D-backs.
