Los Angeles Dodgers Form

Los Angeles head to Arizona on a good run of form, having now win nine of their previous 11 games.

The Dodgers starter this sequence at home as they rebounded from a 3-0 shutout loss to Pittsburgh with 8-4 and 9-2 victories over the Pirates.

They backed that up by sweeping Miami in three games, beating the Marlins 7-6, 15-2 and 12-7.

Los Angeles’ streak reached seven games as they then went out on the road to win 2-1 and 10-3 in Atlanta, but they failed to complete the sweep as they lost the finale 4-3.

The Dodgers rebounded in Miami though, as they sandwiched a 5-4 defeat to the Marlins with 7-4 and 10-1 victories.

Arizona Diamondbacks Form

Arizona enter this series on a rough run of form, having now lost nine of their previous 14 games.

The Diamondbacks’ disappointing sequence began as they lost back-to-back meetings with Tampa Bay at home, 7-6 and 7-4.

They avoided being swept thanks to a 6-4 win over the Braves, and they then bounced back from an 8-3 loss at the New York Mets with 4-3 and 4-2 victories.

Arizona then moved on to Philadelphia where they lost back-to-back games to the Phillies, 3-2 and 7-2, before winning the series finale 11-9.

The Diamondbacks failed to build on that however, as they returned home to sandwich a 5-1 win over the Mets with 5-4 and 7-1 defeats.

Verdict

LA Dodgers @ ARI Diamondbacks

Los Angeles arrive in good form and they have historically had plenty of success against Arizona starter Brandon Pfaaft.

We expect the Dodgers to come out on top and cover the Line in the process.
