Dodgers vs Diamondbacks MLB Preview
The Dodgers have lost seven straight games, so why stop fading them now?
I often like fading the Dodgers with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound. I think they’re overpriced in those spots. They’re just 13-7 in his 20 starts this year, but they’re often juiced to the brim.
Brandon Pfaadt is a streaky pitcher, but he’s currently on a hot streak. He’s running a 1.55 ERA (and 2.57 xERA) over his past six starts. Because the Snakes have an awesome lineup (elite talent at the top and lots of depth), a top-10 bullpen, a rock-solid defense, and an elite base-running squad, they’ve won every single one of those starts.
Our own Sean Zerillo projects the Diamondbacks to win this game around 41% of the time, yet we can buy them for 38c at Kalshi.
Pick: Diamondbacks ML (38c, Kalshi)
