Arizona Diamondbacks vs LA Dodgers Prediction

It would be nice to know who the Arizona Diamondbacks are throwing out there on the mound, but this is still a reasonable price for the Dodgers. Gavin Stone is coming off a dominant month of June and the Dodgers have won 6 straight of his starts. Since May, the Dodgers are 9-1 with Gavin Stone on the mound. In spots like this, we’ve seen the Dodgers priced much closer to -200 or so. No matter who takes the mound for the Diamondbacks, I have to like the Dodgers and the reasonable price in game 2 on Wednesday.
