Dodgers vs Diamondbacks

Bats of Blue Look Hotter Than the Desert Night

Los Angeles Dodgers

Dodgers (24-12) VS Diamondbacks (19-17)

08 May 2025 | 9:40 PM ET | Chase Field, Phoenix, AZ

Arizona Diamondbacks
Moneyline Pick - Los Angeles Dodgers (-165): B

Los Angeles enters this matchup on a great run of form and with one of the league’s top run differentials, a clear signal of both dominance and depth. Arizona, by contrast, has dropped three of their last five and continues to operate without key contributors in both the lineup and bullpen. Even with a reliable home starter taking the mound, the Diamondbacks face an uphill climb against a deep and rested Dodgers roster that’s found success in this ballpark and tends to wear down even quality arms.

With Los Angeles holding the upper hand in momentum, health, and bullpen readiness, the value remains solid despite facing a capable opponent. The play earns a confident B grade—balanced, matchup-driven, and supported by recent form without overstretching the risk.

Over/Under Pick - Under 9, (-110): B

Los Angeles rolls into Chase Field riding an 8-2 run, but with both teams sending in-form starters to the mound, the early fireworks may be kept in check. The Dodgers’ rotation has held strong, while Arizona’s starter boasts a long track record of success in this matchup. Key absences on both sides and a bullpen stretched by injury further anchor the expectation of longer starting outings and a more methodical pace to the game.

With low humidity and a closed roof suppressing flight, plus recent history suggesting limited offensive burst, the total of nine runs sits a tick too high. The lean goes to the Under, earning a B grade for its foundation in matchup stability and ballpark conditions—reliable and sharp, even if the return isn’t flashy.

Spread Pick - Los Angeles Dodgers, -1.5 (-105): B

Los Angeles carries the league's best record into this matchup, while Arizona continues to stumble, having lost three of their last five and managing bullpen challenges without its usual closer. The Dodgers bring in arguably the best starter in MLB with an ERA+ over 400 (league average is 100, higher is better) and benefits from a fully rested bullpen, which adds confidence in late-inning control. Arizona, meanwhile, turns to a rotation option that’s struggled in this matchup and faces a lineup known for exploiting that specific weakness.

With recent form, rotation edge, and bullpen support all leaning in one direction, laying the run and a half at close to even money offers respectable value. This play grades out as a solid B, reflecting a matchup that favors the visitors across the board without overstretching risk or price.
