The Arizona Diamondbacks have not exactly lit the world on fire to start the season and in order to right the ship they will need to reverse some bad history when they continue their series against the Los Angeles Dodgers Thursday. The D-Backs are 4-16 in their past 20 games at Dodgers Stadium, which includes a 3-1 loss on Wednesday.
- The Diamondbacks will start Robbie Ray, who allowed four hits and two runs in his first outing.
- The UNDER is 3-1 in the past four meetings between the Diamondbacks and Dodgers.
- Adrian Gonzalez is 0-for-8 in his lifetime against Robbie Ray.
The Diamondbacks have been solid offensively this season, with Jean Segura leading the way. The young second baseman is second in MLB in hits and has safely reached base at least twice in five consecutive games.
The Dodgers will send Ross Stripling to the mound for the second start of his young career after a tremendous first game. Stripling was pulled after 7.1 innings with a no-hitter in tact, though he was on the hook for a run in that game.
