Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
I’m on Arizona in this one. The Dodgers have had a lot of recent success against the Diamondbacks in recent meetings but I’d argue that Soroka is Arizona’s ace this season and I know full well what Eric Lauer is from his time with the Toronto Blue Jays. Lauer was a key piece of Toronto’s World Series run last season, but this season there was a reason that he was exiled from the Blue Jays. I think Arizona gets to him here and the Diamondbacks get the win.
