Bet Tonight’s Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks Game
Wood allowed two runs (one earned) one three hits while walking five batters and striking out four over 3 2/3 innings in a no-decision on Monday against the Cubs. It was Wood’s first start in the rotation in place of the injured Rich Hill (finger) and he wasn’t sharp. All five of his walks were intentional but the bottom line is that Wood threw just 39 of his 70 pitches for strikes. He had next to no command.
Walker allowed one run on four hits over five innings on Sunday against the Dodgers. He struck out seven batters and walked just one to pick up his second win of the year. He’ll take a 3.94 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP over his 16 combined innings of work into tonight’s game.
