Why Bet on Los Angeles Dodgers?

Clayton Kershaw is on the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Kershaw is looked upon by many as the best pitcher in Major League Baseball. The lefthander is coming off a loss to the Colorado Rockies on the road. In two starts this season, Kershaw has allowed 10 hits and 5 earned runs. The offense for the Dodgers came into Wednesday’s game with a .254 batting average. The Dodgers scored 42 runs in their first three games of the season, which was third in the league. The Dodgers of course are coming off a season a year ago, where they fell to the Cubs in the National League Championship Series.

Why Bet on Arizona Diamondbacks?

The hottest team in the league resides in the desert. The Diamondbacks are bouncing back strong after a terrible 2016 season. Arizona went on a five game winning streak, where they scored 38 runs during those five games. The Diamondbacks are hitting .288, and leading Major League Baseball in runs scored. Paul Goldschmidt is having a monster start to the season. Goldschmidt is hitting .303, with 2 homeruns on the season. Jake Lamb has also been strong, as he leads the team with 10 runs batted in. Zack Greinke will make the start for the Diamondbacks. This is his third start of the season. He is 1-0, 2.31 on the season.

Betting Score & Prediction

The Los Angeles Dodgers and their ace lefthander Clayton Kershaw are going to slow down the Arizona Diamondbacks offense. Kershaw is due for a win, after kind of a bad luck loss to the Rockies. Kershaw pitches well, and comes away with a win in this game over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Dodgers offense has been good to start the season. Los Angeles back home will feel welcome and get to Grienke. The Dodgers certainly know Greinke, and will take advantage of that. The final bet for this game on Friday is the Los Angeles Dodgers -155 over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
