Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Preview

Dave Roberts is a manager who has been there and done that in the postseason. Nothing is going to phase this Los Angeles team. The Dodgers were one of the best offensive teams in all of the league with a .257 batting average and finished 2nd in the league in runs scored with 906.

The Dodgers have the best combination in the middle of their order. Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman have been outstanding. Betts, when looking at his MLB Player Stats, has 39 home runs and 107 runs batted in, while Freeman led the team with a .331 batting average.

Clayton Kershaw will get the ball for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The veteran made 23 starts this season and finished with a 13-5 record. The 35-year-old also had an ERA of 2.46 on the season. The last time Kershaw pitched was on September 30th at the Giants. He went 5.1 innings and allowed five hits in the game.

Diamondbacks’ Playoff Potential

Despite losing their final four regular season games, not only did the Diamondbacks get into the postseason, but they are dangerous. The Diamondbacks should be able to get Zac Gallen back for Monday’s Game 2. Gallen picked up the win in Game 2 over the Brewers.

The offense started with an Alex Thomas home run in the fifth inning. Then, Ketel Marte drove in two, and Lourdes Gurriel Jr had an RBI in the game. The game one win saw Corbin Carroll blast his first career home runs.

Christian Walker hit .258 during the regular season and crushed 33 home runs. He was the lone Arizona player with 100+ RBIs on the season. Carroll finished with 25 home runs and 54 stolen bases.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are sending Merrill Kelly to the mound in this game. The 34-year-old made 30 starts on the season, and 18 were quality starts. Kelly went 12-8 on the season with a 3.29 earned run average. Kelly struck out 187 batters in more than 177 innings this season. Merrill Kelly has the clear No. 2 in the rotation all season long.

Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers Bettings Picks

The Diamondbacks have some momentum going. The Dodgers have had some time off. Kershaw has been known to be rusty when it comes to the postseason.

Barring any late additions to the MLB injury report, the Diamondbacks are going to win this game. Merrill Kelly will throw a nice outing in this game and keep the Dodgers off balance. When push comes to shove, look at Arizona on the moneyline. This would be a huge upset and happen in Los Angeles.
