Bet Tonight’s Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers Game
Paul Goldschmidt homered and drove in two runs on Tuesday in the Diamondbacks’ 4-2 victory. His solo blast came in the top of the eighth inning to give Arizona 2-1 lead and then he drove in an insurance run on a groundout in the top of the ninth. Goldschmidt now has 22 home runs against the Dodgers in his career, so clearly he loves facing L.A.
The D-Backs will be looking to get a better start out of Rubby De La Rosa, who was routed by the Cubs last Thursday. He allowed seven runs – six earned – on six hits over just 3 1/3 innings. He also walked three batters while striking out just two.

The Braves will counter with Alex Wood, who was tagged for five runs in five-plus innings by the Giants last Thursday. He cruised through the first four innings before allowing three runs in the fifth.
MLB PREDICTION: The over is 20-9-1 in the last 30 meetings between these two teams in Los Angeles and 3-0-1 in De La Rosa’s last four starts against the Dodgers. With the way these two pitchers threw in their season openers, runs shouldn’t be at a premium tonight in L.A.
