Pick
I’m backing the Dodgers here. I’m not loving the pitching matchup necessarily, but the thing here is that in a toss up pitching matchup, I have to give the edge to who I feel is the better team, and it’s not often that you’re going to get the Dodgers at a reasonable price like this against a Diamondbacks team that the Dodgers have won 40 of the last 52 meetings against. Give me Los Angeles here.
