Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
I’m on the Dodgers here. I get the case to be made for the Diamondbacks after earning the split with the Brewers to start the week. The problem is that it was an emotional series and the bullpen was heavily used in that series so Gallen could be tasked to eat up extra innings which isn’t something I really trust him to do in a spot like this against a potent Dodger lineup that’s he’s had issues with in the past. I’ll back Los Angeles at home in this one.
