Dodgers vs Diamondbacks MLB Betting Preview
Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Preview
The Dodgers are rolling right along with seven wins in their last eight games, and their pitching has been a big part of it. Monday, they'll send one of their best young arms to the mound in Emmet Sheehan.
The 26-year-old hasn't had the most straightforward season, holding a 4.70 ERA entering the week, but he's continued to display excellent strikeout stuff to go along with dwindling walk numbers. He's punched out 27.2% of the batters he's faced, which is a slight dip from last season but still a great mark, and he ranks in the top 3% of the league in chase rate.
The biggest issue for Sheehan has been the longball, considering he's now given up eight in nine starts. He's not an extreme fly-baller per se, but he's still running a low 39.7% ground-ball rate and a 27.7% fly-ball rate, which puts him 3.6 points above the league average. A huge issue is the fact that most of his contact in the air is pulled; his 29.8% Pull Air% is one of the worst in baseball.
The recipe for success is simple for Sheehan – get outs through the air and on strikes. Ironically, he's been significantly worse on the road this season despite pitching in three pitcher-friendly parks, and of the five homers he's surrendered on the road, none of them came in his lone start at Coors Field.
Arizona Diamondbacks Betting Preview
Eduardo Rodriguez may not flaunt the sexiest metrics, but he's been damn effective this season for the Diamondbacks. He stands in with a 2.31 ERA, with opponents hitting just .223 against him — the 32nd-best mark of 73 qualified pitchers.
Rodriguez is running a pretty average ground-ball rate, which is somewhat surprising given his low sinker usage, yet hitters are coming up with a .260 Expected Batting Average against him. It's not as if his 35.9% hard-hit rate is high, and the launch angle against him is way down to the league average, so you'd expect a high xBA.
The fact of the matter, however, is that the Diamondbacks continue to own one of the best defenses in the league and take advantage of their large home outfield. It would be entirely reasonable for Rodriguez to continue pitching underneath his expected numbers as a result, though his lone legitimate weakness has to be his 9.2% walk rate. That's kept runners on base and led to a WHIP that's not entirely reflective of the damage opponents are doing.
Dodgers vs Diamondbacks Pick, Betting Analysis
The Diamondbacks' offense has stalled a bit, but for a while there, they were producing. They still rank 15th in wRC+ over the last 14 days, hitting .262 with a low 18.7% strikeout rate, but their main weakness is in the power department. Arizona owns just a .138 ISO over that span, and now heads home where it can be difficult to get the ball out of the park.
That's the main issue Sheehan has dealt with, so this matchup has to come as a sigh of relief. L.A.'s outfield defense ranks 10th in Outs Above Average, and its infield leads the league, so you'd think Sheehan should be in for a nice evening even if the strikeouts aren't there. Alex Call and Ryan Ward are now manning the spot vacated by an injured Teoscar Hernandez, to boot, so that defense is only going to improve.
L.A., meanwhile, is leading the league in offense over that same span, but against Rodriguez, things could be tricky. It's been heavily reliant upon power with a .243 ISO, meaning the power suppressor should be able to go to work, and it's hit lefties much worse this season. I'm going to play the Under here; I like both arms going.
Pick: Under 8.5 (-103) | Play to Under 8 (-105)
