Dodgers (25-12) VS Diamondbacks (19-18)

Arizona Diamondbacks
Moneyline Pick - Los Angeles Dodgers (-130): Grade B+

Los Angeles enters this matchup rolling on a great run of form as they start to open a gap at the top of the NL West, taking on an Arizona team trending in the opposite direction and missing a key presence atop the lineup. Arizona’s starter brings a less than stellar ERA into the contest, and the Dodgers’ lineup has historically fared very well in this matchup, and their own young starter has done well to neutralize opposing bats. With better health, deeper offensive options, and a steadier bullpen, Los Angeles holds the clear edge even before reaching the halfway point of the season. At short juice, backing the Dodgers grades out as a solid B for both value and probability.

Honestly, with the way the Dodgers are playing and the matchup advantages they’ve got, this looks like a strong spot to ride the streak. The price is fair for the edge.

Over/Under Pick - Under 10, (-110): B+

Los Angeles rides into Arizona on a 7-3 run behind pinpoint starting pitching, while the Diamondbacks look find some positive form if they want to even sniff the wild card spots come the end of the season. Both clubs enter the matchup missing key offensive contributors, putting added pressure on their core bats to produce against two starters who’ve consistently silenced these lineups. With both bullpens reinforced by recent returns and elite late-game arms on each side, run production should stay limited despite the hitter-friendly venue. Under 10 earns a strong B+ grade for offering solid value in a game that shapes up as a tightly contested pitcher's duel.

Honestly, this one's all about the arms. With injuries thinning both lineups and two top-end starters going, the under feels like the best play on the board tonight.

Spread Pick - Arizona Diamondbacks, +1.5 (-140): B+

Los Angeles enters this one having dropped their last game and faces mounting pressure on their pitching depth, with rotation absences and a taxed bullpen creating potential vulnerability. Arizona, fresh off ending its skid by winning the first game of the series, counters with a lefty who’s historically shut down the Dodgers’ biggest bats and now faces a thinned staff lacking fresh arms. With their top-of-the-order contributors healthy and producing, and an impressive run-line cover rate at home, the Diamondbacks are well-positioned to keep this one close. Backing Arizona at +1.5 earns a solid B grade for value and reliability, especially with the Dodgers' bullpen under strain.

Honestly, the Dodgers' arms look stretched thin right now, and Arizona’s been sneaky good at home against the number. That extra run feels like a sharp play here.
