Why bet on the Los Angeles Dodgers?

The Dodgers enter the contest with a 29-14 record. They recorded nine wins in their last seven games. Los Angeles carries plenty of momentum coming into the game after completing a successful series against Washington, winning two out of three games. The pitching selection of the Dodgers features a 2.73 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and a .215 opponent batting average so far. Looking closely at the offensive stats, the team documented 236 runs to go with a .246 batting average and a .335 on base percentage.

Mitch White is slated to start Thursday’s matchup. The 27-year-old pitcher is 1-0 in six games and one start. He also records a 6.17 ERA and eight on 11 hits and four walks with 13 Ks in 11.2 innings. White has respectable numbers that would likely keep the Diamondbacks busy during the opening game.

The Dodgers look solid in recent weeks, scoring wins 10-1 and 9-4 over Washington in the three-game series. However, LA suffered a disappointing 1-0 loss in the final game where Julio Urias found 6.0 innings in the start with one earned on four hits and three walks.

Why bet on the Arizona Diamondbacks?

The Diamondbacks are having a tougher season at the moment and are 23-22 so far. They did find stability and won five of their last six games. The team comes off a series victory over Kansas City, winning two consecutive games. Arizona’s pitching selection has a 4.01 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and a .239 opponent batting average. Checking out the offensive figures, Arizona scored 181 runs on top of a.216 batting average and .299 on base percentage this season.

Arizona is expected to bring in Humberto Castellanos this contest, who is 3-1 with a 4.29 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP over 35.2 innings pitched this season. It’s been a solid run for the team after taking down the Royals in both games of their back-to-back series this week. Monday yielded positive results for the team in a 9-5 victory followed by another 8-6 win, where Arizona secured five runs in the sixth inning.

Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks Betting Prediction

Arizona playing in the familiar territory might swing the odds in their favor by a slight margin. Castellanos has been decent in his last three starts as well, providing the team much-needed confidence. He had eight earned on 14 hits and three walks in 16.0 innings. Arizona has to keep its promising offense in the right direction. If the Diamondbacks can hold off the Dodgers on the other side, they have a solid shot at swinging back this time. Nevertheless, the Dodgers remain the better team on paper with a solid history against the Diamondbacks recently.
