The Dodgers have won Games 1 and 2 in this series.  Game 3 is currently playing with the Dodgers up by a run in the 7th inning.  That recommendation to bet on the Dodgers came out yesterday.  Yes, I said bet the Dodgers in game 3.  This article is about Game 4 of the series due to play Sunday evening.  And yes, once again it will be full of the simple advice to bet on the Dodgers.  The Dodgers have better hitting, pitching, and fielding across the board.  When betting on baseball you have to look for obvious outcomes and simply bet across a whole series.  Any team can beat any team in a single baseball game.  Yet in a series and across an entire season the good teams will beat the lousy teams.  You get less of a return on your bet because of the moneyline, but you can profit from stacking up all these obvious wins.  As we stand the Dodgers have beaten the D-Backs 8-2 over their last ten matchups… Winners of 6 straight.  Game 4 should be a clear and easy win again.

An MLB National League Matchup West.  The Best of the West is the Dodgers.  The scum of the West is almost the Diamondbacks… while technically still being the Colorado Rockies.  The Dodgers will spend the rest of the season competing with the San Diego Padres and the San Francisco Giants for best in the West.  The Diamondbacks will spend the rest of the season competing with the Colorado Rockies for worst in the West.  That is how it will go mostly.  The Great betting opportunity last season was to simply bet BOTH the Dodgers and the Giants to win while skipping the games they played against each other… and you would be up so much cash it would fund your bankroll the next five years.  This season the Dodgers expect no difference even if they suffer an injury.  Yes, you will not make as much because you are betting against the moneyline… it still means wins to bet on the Dodgers… you just have to know when to skip a Dodgers bet.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have won 9 of their last 10 games.  5 Over, 3 Under and 2 Push.  The winning has been so strong because the last ten games contain a FIVE GAME SWEEP of these same Arizona Diamondbacks. The Dodgers didn’t destroy the Diamondbacks; they simply beat them each and every time they took the mound.  They also went 3-1 against the Philadelphia Phillies, and 1 against the Washington Nationals.  The Dodgers are killing the games from both fronts with a 1st place standing in scoring and a 1st place standing in team ERA.  The batting gauntlet of Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Trea Turner are too much for most MLB pitchers… The Dodgers have many more great hitters but those three are special.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are just 1 game above .500… Soon they will have a losing record.  It’s actually rather remarkable that a team that is below average hitting, below average pitching, and God Awful fielding… somehow managed to reach the 45 game mark with a winning record!  That is some special luck.  The Diamondbacks have won 5 of their last 10 games.  8 Over, 1 Under, and 1 Push.  The went 2-0 against the Kansas City Royals, 3-1 against the Chicago Cubs, and a lousy 0-4 against THESE Los Angeles Dodgers.  The moral of the story heere is that the Diamondbacks can beat rotten teams all day long, but have no chance against good teams.  That is a pretty reliable piece of gambling information to tuck into your brain pan.

The Dodgers are 29-6 (+14.6 Units) against Arizona the last 3 seasons.

The Dodgers are 5-2 against Arizona this season.

All 3 games played in Arizona in this matchup have gone UNDER.

Dodgers: SP Clayton Kershaw (elbow) Out ** 

Diamondbacks: RF J Rojas (hand) Quest ** LF C Hummel (elbow) Out ** SS N Ahmed (ill) Out ** C C Kelly (oblique) Out ** C J Herrera (ill) Quest ** 

Dodgers: LHP Tyler Anderson, 5-0, 3.30 ERA, 42 strikeouts in 43 innings pitched.  1.01 WHIP.   Tyler “Mr Duck” Anderson is 32 years old and has come into his own.  His ERA is slightly higher than the team average of 2.85… but the 5-0 record and the WHIP can’t be argued with.   

D-Backs: RHP Zach Davies, 2-2, 4.81 ERA, 32 strikeouts in 42 innings pitched.  1.37 WHIP.  29 year old Zachary Ryan Davies does not have the best ERA.  His teammates gave him the unfortunate nickname “bat boy”... and at times it does look like the Diamondbacks put the bat boy out there.  Still he has some tricks in his bag and has a career winning record of 58-50.

 

Dodgers: RF Mookie Betts, 1B Freddie Freeman, SS Trea Turner, C Will Smith, 3B Max Muncy, DH Justin Turner, CF Cody Bellinger, LF Chris Taylor, 2B Gavin Lux

Sunny.  95*.  Hot with a 0% chance of precipitation.  It’s a dry heat and baseballs can fly in a dry heat (low humidity means low air resistance).  Look for sun, sun, and more sun.  Expect those big plumes of dust when someone slides!
