Zack Greinke posted one of the greatest statistical seasons in MLB history with the Los Angeles Dodgers last season and parlayed that into a $208-million contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks this offseason. Greinke will now be facing off against his former team for the first time since leaving when the two teams kick off a three-game series Monday.
This will not be the first time Greinke has ever faced the Dodgers though – no, the pitcher has dominated LA in his career. Greinke is 2-0 with a 2.52 ERA in four career starts against the Dodgers.
Mike Bolsinger – who takes the bump for the Dodgers – has not been given a particularly long leash this season with the righty not making it through six innings in any of his four starts. Bolsinger is also coming off his worst outing of the season, as he allowed seven hits and six earned runs in a loss to the Colorado Rockies.
