The Dodgers are coming into this game with a 11-4 record overall and they are 5-3 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one off of a win in their last game. They just won their 3-game series against the San Diego Padres 2-1 and they are playing the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Diamondbacks on Tuesday night. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Tuesday with the series opener still to be played on Monday. Walker Buehler is the starting pitcher for them on Monday while Tony Gonsolin will be on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 1-0 with a 0.69 ERA this season. His team won their last 2 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 0 ER, 0 HRs, and 3 BB with 3 Ks on 1 hits in 6 IP against the Atlanta Braves. They scored 18 runs in their last series averaging 6 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 6 runs against them averaging 2 runs allowed per game.

 

The Diamondbacks are coming into this game with a 6-10 record overall and they are 3-6 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game. They just lost their 3-game series against the New York Mets 2-1 and they are playing the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Dodgers on Tuesday night. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Tuesday with the series opener still to be played on Monday. Merill Kelly is the starter for them on Monday while Zach Davies will be throwing the first pitch for them here on Tuesday. He is 1-1 with a 5.02 ERA this season. His team has lost 2 of their last 3 games this season with him as the starter. In his last start, he allowed 2 earned runs, 1 homer, and 2 BB with 7 strikeouts on 2 hits through 5 innings played against the Washington Nationals. They scored 12 runs in their last series averaging 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 14 runs against them averaging 4.5 runs allowed per game.

 

The Dodgers are coming into this game as a favorite with the current betting odds. The Dodgers just won 2 series against 2 very good opponents winning 4 of their last 6 games but they also swept 2 series prior to those so they have been playing very well recently winning 10 of their last 12 games. They are going up against a D-backs side that just lost their series with the Mets and they have not been playing well this season as they have already made their way to the bottom of the division where they were last season. Tony Gonsolin has already had some great starts and has been almost impossible to score on so far. The D-backs are not a very good team again this season and for a team like the Dodgers with their kind of talent, they should be sweeping teams like this and they already have against teams just as bad this season. The best bet in this game is on the Dodgers to win on the runline.
