Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
I’m backing the Dodgers here. I just think this is a good spot to ride the momentum with the Dodgers after the win to snap the slide as Rodriguez has gotten a lot of support this season but has been pitching a lot higher than his pay grade and what we’re used to seeing from E-Rod over the years. I think the Dodgers get to him and while I don’t think Wrobleski will be perfect, I think he’ll be good enough for a win here. Give me the Dodgers.
