The Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks are set to face off in a divisional game, with a pitching matchup that favors the under. The Dodgers’ Justin Wrobleski will take on the Diamondbacks’ Eduardo Rodriguez, both of whom have had strong seasons so far.
Pitching Matchup
Wrobleski has an 11-3 record, 3.31 ERA, and a 1.07 WHIP, while Rodriguez is 10-4 with a 2.71 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP. Despite some recent struggles, both pitchers are expected to make adjustments and get back to their strong form.
The Dodgers have been struggling lately, losing seven straight games before ending the skid with a win yesterday. They are still expected to win 100 games and make the playoffs, and are favorites to win the World Series.
The Diamondbacks, on the other hand, are in a position to make the postseason, thanks to their strong campaign so far. Their starting pitching has been a weakness, but their hitting has done a good job of masking those issues.
