The Dodgers are coming into this game with a 12-4 record overall and they are 6-3 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 4 of their last 5 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game winning streak. They just won their 3-game series against the San Diego Padres 2-1 and they are playing the series finale of a 3-game series with the Diamondbacks on Wednesday night. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Wednesday with the 2nd game still to be played on Tuesday. Tony Gonsolin is the starting pitcher for them on Tuesday while Julio Urías will be on the mound for them here on Wednesday. He is 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA this season. His team won their last 2 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 1 ER, 0 HRs, and 3 BB with 6 Ks on 2 hits in 5 IP against the San Diego Padres. 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 6-11 record overall and they are 3-7 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game losing streak. They just lost their 3-game series against the New York Mets 2-1 and they are playing the series finale of a 3-game series with the Dodgers on Wednesday night. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Wednesday with the 2nd game still to be played on Tuesday. Zach Davies is the starter for them on Tuesday while Zac Gallen will be throwing the first pitch for them here on Wednesday. He is 0-0 with a 1.00 ERA this season. His team has lost their last game this season with him as the starter. In his last start, he allowed 1 earned run, 0 homers, and 1 BB with 7 strikeouts on 2 hits through 5 innings played against the New York Mets. 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. They have been playing very well in their recent games as they have won 4 of their last 5 games and they have been scoring a lot of runs in that span. They are going up against a Diamondbacks team that is not off to a good start this season but they have a good starter on the mound in this game and Gallen has already had some good starts this season. Urias will be starting for the Dodgers and he is coming off of a great season and has been pitching much better in his recent starts. Both of these teams will have some good pitching in this game and the hits could become scarce as it will likely be a low scoring game. If the D-backs are to steal a game in this series this will be their best chance but it will likely be a low scoring game that the Dodgers still win but the D-backs cover the runline in. The best bet here is on the Dodgers to win or on the D-backs runline here.

"I trusted him. I believed him. He has an extra day before his next start, so everything lined up, made sense. He deserved it, he earned it and it was fun to watch him tonight." - Dave Roberts on his team’s win against the D-backs on Monday night.

 

 

"Buehler had really good stuff. I thought we went out of the zone a few times, giving him a chance to look even better and more efficient. In those critical counts, we've got to be a little more stubborn." - Torey Luvollo on his team’s loss against the Dodgers on Monday night.
