Dodgers vs Diamondbacks Predictions, Picks and MLB Prop Bets, Friday, 5/9: Bet Over 10 Runs

In a scenario not seen often, the Los Angeles Dodgers are entering tonight’s second game of their road series against the Arizona Diamondbacks as MLB money line underdogs (+110).

Yes, you read right, the Dodgers, a lock for MLB futures bets when talking about World Series aspirations, are underdogs tonight despite Thursday’s surprising 5-3 loss against the D’backs.

With top value to be chased for tonight, let’s run through the top picks, predictions and MLB prop bets for the Dodgers vs Diamondbacks game.

Dodgers vs Diamondbacks Prediction Today May 9, 2025

My prediction

• Dodgers ML (+110)

What? The Dodgers are MLB betting odds underdogs for tonight? I know it doesn’t happen that often, or at all, so talking their +110 moneyline odds could very well be today’s best bet.

If you ask me, Thursday’s loss doesn’t really justify LA being taken as underdogs tonight. The Dodgers have better pitchers, more bullpen depth and a stronger offense.

With the odds offering top value to take LA to win, don’t think it twice: Bet LA straight up and make bank.

Bet on Dodgers ML (+110)

• Dodgers vs Diamondbacks Over 10 (-110)

With teams like the Dodgers and Diamondbacks, who both hold strong offenses that can pop off at any minute, betting the total going over in their games has proven to pay off very well for the most part.

MLB betting trends show that 61% of Arizona’s games at home have gone over this season, while 50% of LA’s road games have gone over as well.

While I targeted the under based on Yoshinobu Yamamoto starting for LA on Thursday, tonight I’m betting on both offenses to go at each other from beginning to end, with the potential to smash the total set at 10 as a very enticing MLB pick to chase.

Dodgers vs Diamondbacks Prop Picks and Best Bets

• Shohei Ohtani Over 1.5 Hits (+167)

Shohei Ohtani continues to show why he’s one of the most important pieces on offense for LA and a favorite for bettors targeting MLB player prop picks, even in the series-opening loss against Arizona.

As echoed by MLB latest news, Ohtani reached a team-leading 11 home runs following a solo shot in the ninth on Thursday to try and spark a late-game Dodgers comeback.

For tonight, with Ohtani riding on a current six-game hitting streak that has included four HRs, two doubles and a triple, his +167 odds to score at least two hits offer great value, especially if LA comes out swinging to score a strong win from the get-go.

Bet on Shohei Ohtani Over 1.5 Hits (+167)

• Dodgers vs Diamondbacks Over 18.5 Hits (-114)

If Thursday proved anything, it’s that on a good night, the Diamondbacks can bring it on the plate, especially when it comes to raking up hits. And for the Dodgers, even on an off night, they can still be counted on to beef up the numbers when it comes to getting on base via hits.

Going for 18 combined hits in Game 1 in what ended up being a stronger pitching duel than what’s expected for tonight, riding the over in total combined hits makes perfect sense.

• Dodgers vs Diamondbacks YRFI (-139)

Picking this prop has been quite tricky in recent Dodgers games. While the team continues to prove day in and day out that it has one of the most dominant offenses in the league, they usually start games out cold and pick up the pace afterward.

Still, following Thursday’s loss, with a need to bounce back dominantly, and facing a struggling Diamondbacks starter in Eduardo Rodriguez, I’m going with LA opening up the scoreboard from the first inning as my last MLB game prediction.
