Arizona Diamondbacks +115 * Big 2 UNIT Play *
This is a 'no-brainer' - you would be foolish to turn down this play when practically everything favours Arizona. The Diamondbacks for one are on FIRE and the Dodgers are just ICE-COLD lately. Amazingly enough, the Diamondbacks have won 17 out of their last 21 games! In the last 10 games, Arizona have been averaging 6 runs per game, all while only conceeding 3.8 runs. Thats a 2.2 run(s) difference between offensive and defensive output.
The Dodgers on the other hand have lost 10 out of their last 11 games. LA has really suffered due to the fact that they are not able to put runs on the board. In their last 10 outtings the Dodgers have only accumulated an average of 1.4 runs per game; the Dodgers were only able to score 2 runs or more in 4 out of their recent 10 games. Furthermore the Dodgers are conceeding an average of 3.5 runs per game. The Dodgers' opponents have outscored LA by an average of 2 runs (or more) in their recent games played.
In the pitching department, Dessens for Arizona is 9-9 this season with a hefty 5.08 ERA. However in his recent outtings, Dessens have won 4 in a row and have only conceeded on average 2.75 ERA. The Dodgers on the other hand will have Perez on the mound. He is currently 8-8 this season and carries a 4.44 ERA. More importantly though, Perez have struggled as of late due to the fact that he has lost 4 out of his last 5 outtings.
Also worth noting, the Diamondbacks are 13-10 and average 4.78 runs per game against left-handed pitchers. On the contrary the Dodgers are 30-34 and average only 3.08 runs against right-handed pitchers.
According to all the recent trends, and stats - the Arizona Diamondbacks are the better play here - I can almost assure you that 7 out of 10 times the team with such convincing data in their favour will win the game more often then not.
