The last time the Arizona Diamondbacks and Los Angeles Dodgers took to the same diamond came in last season’s NLDS, a series that saw the D-backs swept while being outscored 20-11. However, before that series, the Diamondbacks had taken the previous six meetings against Dodgers. Paul Goldschmidt and company will look to get back on the right side of the ledger when they open a three-game series with the Dodgers Monday.
- Paul Goldschmidt is slashing .429/.487/.810 in his career vs Hyun-Jin Ryu.
- Dodgers’ starts have surrendered one earned run so far this season.
- The Diamondbacks are 15-5 against the runline in their last 20 games against the Dodgers.
Taijuan Walker – who will start for the Diamondbacks – will be looking to get rid of the bitter taste in his mouth left from his last start of the 2017 campaign. Walker faced the Dodgers in Game 1 of the NLDS – lasting just 1.0 innings while surrendering four hits and four runs. Much like the D-backs, Walker fared well against the Dodgers during the regular season last year, with a 3.24 ERA while recording 17 strikeouts to five walks in three starts.
Hyun-Jin Ryu will be out to prove he can pitch deeper into games this season, as he will be a free agent at the end of this campaign. Ryu pitched well last season – the lefty had a 3.77 ERA – but only finished the sixth inning in eight of his 24 starts. Ryu had his struggles against the Diamondbacks last year, posting a 6.30 ERA in two starts – giving up 11 hits and seven runs in 10.0 innings.
