Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
I’m backing the Dodgers here. I still think that the Dodgers are the better team even though Arizona’s been able to get the upper hand on the Dodgers in the first couple games of this series. Sheehan’s been arguably my least favorite option in the Dodgers’ rotation, but he’s the better option here and I look for the Dodgers to avoid the sweep here. Give me Los Angeles.
