Arizona Diamondbacks vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

You can make a case for the Diamondbacks given the Dodgers’ recent losing streak, but I’m not going to do it. The Dodgers don’t string together losses often, and there’s a massive gap between starting pitchers. Nelson has an ERA over five on the season, and through 10 road innings, he has a 6.30 ERA and .237 allowed batting average. Yamamoto looks like a CY Young candidate with his 2.12 ERA and 0.98 WHIP, and he has a 2.45 ERA and .198 allowed batting average in 22 home innings. In 44 at-bats against current Diamondbacks, Yamamoto is allowing a .205 batting average with nine strikeouts. The Dodgers should end the losing streak here. Give me the Dodgers and the RL for max betting value.
