Bet on Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks
Cody Bellinger is expected to return to the lineup for the Dodgers, but it will probably take him two or three games to get back into the groove. Ray, on the other hand, seemed to find his groove immediately after coming off the disabled list. OF course, Los Angeles is a much tougher challenge but expect the lefty to keep hitters guessing. Ryu has been great of late, but Arizona has shown time and time again it can beat really good pitchers at home.
