When: Wednesday, June 15, 3:40pm Eastern time Where: Chase Field, Phoenix TV: SNLA, FSAZ Radio: Los Angeles / Arizona Live Stream: MLB.tv MLB 2016 Odds: TBA Pitching Matchup: Clayton Kershaw (9-1, 1.52 ERA) (LA) vs Patrick Corbin (3-5, 4.81 ERA) (ARI)

Why should you bet on Los Angeles?

Well, let’s start with that pitching matchup. Kershaw is 7-0 in his last eight starts, although he did take a no-decision in Friday’s marquee matchup with San Francisco’s Johnny Cueto. During those last eight starts, he has not permitted more than two runs. In eight of his last 10 outings, he has struck out 10 or more batters. The Diamondbacks’ starting pitcher, Patrick Corbin, is only 3-4 in nine starts against Los Angeles in his career.

Why should you put your money on the Diamondbacks?

The Diamondbacks did win the series opener against the Dodgers, thanks in large part to the dominant work of Zack Greinke on the hill. When Corbin last started against the Dodgers, back on April 12, he did have one of his best nights of the year, limiting the Dodgers to a single run on six hits in six innings, but the bullpen coughed up his lead and left him with a no-decision. Paul Goldschmidt has taken Kershaw deep twice in his career (36 AB), and Brandon Drury has taken him out of the park as well (1 HR in just 2 AB).

Expert Betting Pick and Final Score Prediction

I like Kershaw to do his usual work against the Diamondbacks and mow down the offense. I’m predicting a 4-1 Los Angeles win.
