Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Pick & Prediction

The Arizona Diamondbacks (25-22) and Los Angeles Dodgers (29-18) will meet up for another series this season starting on Monday, May 19 at 10:10 PM ET at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California. The Dodgers are favored with a moneyline from MyBookie at -150.

Arizona Diamondbacks Betting Preview

The Diamondbacks are 3-2 over their previous five games. They are coming off a volatile series with the Colorado Rockies, but ended on a good note with a Game 3 victory of 1-0.

Brandon Pfaadt (6-3) will take the mound in this upcoming matchup with a 3.73 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP through 50.2 innings. The Diamondbacks have collectively averaged about 4.81 of their ERA, which means Pfaadt needs to have a good start for them to have a solid chance at success defensively.

Arizona has been good at the plate with a .257 batting average. However, their defense has been their biggest issue. They are currently allowing their opponents to get a .254 batting average, which suggests they have just as many scoring opportunities as their opponents.

The Diamondbacks offer a .338 on base percentage and a .452 slugging percentage. Again, their offense is appealing but they struggle keeping their opponents at bay. For example, they averaged 7.00 runs and allowed 4.66 runs from the Rockies in their last three games of that series.

Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Preview

The Dodgers also had some bad luck in their latest three-game stretch, losing all of their battles against the Los Angeles Angels recently. They are coming off a 6-4 outing in Game 3. They averaged 5.00 runs a game but gave up 7.66 runs in return.

Landon Knack (2-1) is getting the start on the mound here and has an ERA at 5.89 and a WHIP at 1.53. He has pitched 18.1 innings, but his ERA is a bit of a concern thus far. They cannot afford to allow the Diamondbacks to get hot early, as their offense is what keeps them in games.

Los Angeles has typically been great at the plate, posting a .274 batting average and holding teams to .239. This shows a solid separation between the two averages but could be better.

The Dodgers have a slightly better on base percentage at .349 than what the Diamondbacks offer, as well as a stronger slugging percentage at .481. This could be another explosive offensive series.
