Dodgers Can’t Be Derailed
The Los Angeles Dodgers have won four straight games and six out of their last seven. They’ve clinched the National League West division, and have their sights set on the postseason.
Their past two wins were against the lowly Arizona Diamondbacks by a combined score of 10-0. The two shutouts mean the Diamondbacks have now dropped six out of their past seven. Are they worth considering on the MLB betting odds in this spot?
Let’s check the latest MLB picks, stats, injury reports, and MLB odds for Dodgers vs Diamondbacks. We’ve plenty of MLB predictions for you to consider.
Dodgers Not Relaxing
The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the division, had a bit of a celebration, but not a letdown. Maybe none is forthcoming. They’ve been so good, and the Diamondbacks are so subpar that Los Angeles is tough to go against here.
Keep an eye on some of their starters down the stretch, seeing who’s active and who might be given the day/night off. Righthander Michael Grove will get the Wednesday spot start. He’s not had a decision in three games (two starts) this season, 4.82 ERA a bit more than nine innings.
Arizona is batting just .237 in their last 10 games, so struggling at the plate. Jake McCarthy is 14-for-35 in that span, doing his job.
D’Back Turn to Davies
Righty Zach Davies is getting the Arizona Wednesday nod, 2-4 with a 4.09 ERA. Arizona Diamondbacks had won four straight Davies starts. That ended when they lost to the Colorado Rockies last Friday.
Davies has opposed the Dodgers twice already this season. Having surrendered 11 runs over 13.1 innings. If you bet online, that makes him tough to endorse.
The Dodgers are batting .272 in their last 10, with Freddie Freeman at .432 over that span.

Dodgers vs Diamondbacks Prediction
Los Angeles is clearly the better team coming into this game, but the Dodgers are using a fill-in pitcher in Grove. Hence, less of a favorite in the sportsbook. They are division champions, about to become the first team to hit the 100-win mark (they’re two away) this season.
Davies struggled against the Dodgers, as was mentioned.
Try the over for your MLB picks. Plenty of runs could be scored in this one.
