The Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks meet Thursday in MLB action at Chase Field. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have scored 19 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 4 of their 6 games. The Dodgers are 4-0 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Will Smith leads the Dodgers with 8 hits and 10 RBI, while Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts have combined for 14 hits and 1 RBI. Dustin May gets the ball, and he is 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA and 4 strikeouts this season. May is 0-1 with a 5.84 ERA and 9 strikeouts in his career against the Diamondbacks.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have scored 14 runs in their last 3 games and 3 or fewer runs in 4 of their 6 games. The Diamondbacks are 2-2 this season when scoring 3 or fewer runs. Corbin Carroll leads the Diamondbacks with 6 hits and 1 RBI, while Christian Walker and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. have combined for 11 hits and 3 RBI.

The Dodgers are 40-13 in their last 53 Thursday games and 71-28 in their last 99 overall. The Diamondbacks are 0-4 in their last 4 games following an off day and 1-5 in their last 6 home games. The under is 5-1 in Dodgers last 6 road games. The under is 9-2 in Diamondbacks last 11 home games. The Dodgers are 20-7 in the last 27 meetings in Arizona and 41-12 in the last 53 meetings.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have owned the Diamondbacks over the years, and Merrill Kelly has been rocked left and right against them in his career. Dustin May looked good in his debut, and we know he has the stuff when he’s actually pitching and not missing time. Hard to turn down the Dodgers in this spot. Give me the road team.
