The Los Angeles Dodgers haven’t gotten their season off the ground yet and are three games under .500 heading into a four-game road series with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Is another OVER in store tonight? The OVER is 3-0 in the last three meetings between the clubs, with an average combined score of 11 runs.
Sportsbook opened the D-backs as slight -109 home favorites with a total of 8.5.
- The total has gone UNDER in seven of the Diamondbacks’ last eight games at home (avg combined score: 5.13).
- The Dodgers are 2-5 SU in their last seven games with Ross Stripling as the starting pitcher.
- The Dodgers are 1-6 SU and ATS in their last seven games on the road against the Diamondbacks.
Ross Stripling and Zack Greinke are slated to get the ball for the Dodgers and Diamondbacks, respectively. Stripling (0-0, 0.63 ERA) is making a spot start in place of Rich Hill, who’s on the disabled list due to an infection in his left middle finger. Stripling has been dominant in relief this season, registering 16 strikeouts without giving up a home run over 14.1 innings of work in 10 appearances. The 28-year-old owns a 1-2 record with a 3.48 ERA in 15 career games vs Arizona.
Greinke (2-2, 4.80) will be looking to bounce back from a tough outing on Wednesday when the veteran allowed four runs and nine hits in six innings vs the Philadelphia Phillies. The four-time all-star has given up homers in each of his past five starts. Greinke is 5-4 with a 3.91 ERA in 12 career starts vs his former team.
The Dodgers are going OVER with ease against right-handed starters. The OVER is 11-2 in Los Angeles’ past 13 games against righties.
