Los Angeles Dodgers vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
This line is insane when you consider the Diamondbacks have underachieved up to this point, and Rodriguez has been a mess. Through 38 innings, Rodriguez has allowed 44 hits and 25 earned runs. In 79 at-bats against the current Dodgers, Rodriguez is allowing a .329 batting average and four home runs. The Dodgers don’t string together losses often, and you rarely get them at prices this soft. I get that Sasaki is a rookie and the jury is still out on him, but he’s been respectable, allowing 13 earned runs in 30.1 innings. This line is showing too much respect to the Diamondbacks, and I’m just not buying it, given that Rodriguez is on the mound. I’ll gladly take the Dodgers.
