Opening Odds: Los Angeles -143/8
The Los Angeles Dodgers are the scariest team in the majors with their great pitching and experienced and explosive lineup, but now they have rookies on the roster that are making huge impacts as well. L.A. made history over the weekend in sweeping NL West-rival Colorado in three games as first-year players Matt Beaty (Friday), Alex Verdugo (Saturday), and Will Smith (Sunday) became the first trio of rookies to hit walk-off homers on three consecutive days. Sunday’s 6-3 win extended the Dodgers winning streak to six games and their lead in the NL West to a whopping 13 games over the Rockies. L.A. will now open a seven-game road trip in Arizona to face a Diamondbacks team who also won in walk-off-fashion on Sunday to halt their season-long six-game skid – a 3-2, 10-inning victory over San Francisco on Tim Locastro’s hit. It was Arizona’s first win on their nine-game homestand and the first time they allowed less than six runs over their past six games. Ace Zack Greinke takes the mound in the opener for the D’backs opposite Clayton Kershaw. The Dodgers’ Cody Bellinger is hitting .414 with four homers and 10 RBI in six games versus the Diamondbacks this season and the Dodgers have a 5-2 edge in the season series.
Pitchers: Dodgers – Clayton Kershaw (7-1, 2.85 ERA) | Diamondbacks – Zack Greinke (8-3, 2.91)
Kershaw has allowed three runs or less in 11 of his 12 starts this season and is coming off his first scoreless outing when he struck out six over seven innings against San Francisco last Tuesday. The Dodgers won three of the five games he started against Arizona last season and this will be the first meeting of 2019. Kershaw owns a 6-8 record and 3.70 ERA in 15 career starts at Chase Field.

Greinke’s has two scoreless outings and two duds over his last four starts with the two shaky starts coming at home. He shutout Toronto and Washington on consecutive starts over 13.1 innings but book-ended those outings by allowing nine runs across 11 innings versus the New York Mets and Colorado. Greinke was hit for seven runs – four homers – over 3.2 innings at Dodger Stadium back in March but his team won three of the four meetings he started in 2018.
You won’t get Kershaw and the Dodgers at less than -150 too many more times this season, so take advantage of it now. L.A. is 11-1 in Kershaw’s 12 trips to the mound this season and even though they’re just 20-16 away from home, Arizona is the second-worst home team in the National League (15-21).
