Dodgers vs Diamondbacks MLB Betting Preview
By Nick Galaida
The Dodgers have lost their last six games, but there is little doubt that they remain one of the best teams in baseball.
Roki Sasaki has looked much better of late, with his fastball velocity trending up since the beginning of June. In his last 9 starts, he owns a 3.66 xERA and 1.25 WHIP. He hasn't allowed a barrel since the All-Star Break.
Meanwhile, Merrill Kelly has struggled to a 6.16 xERA and 1.38 WHIP since the beginning of July. He's allowing a lot of contact in the zone, and his inability to consistently get ahead in counts could prove particularly troublesome against a talented Dodgers offense.
The Dodgers have the better starting pitcher and the better lineup. Their arm barn is rested too, following an off-day on Thursday. This is good value for the Dodgers to get back in the win column for the first time in a week.
Pick: Dodgers ML (63c, Kalshi)
