Dodgers vs Diamondbacks MLB Betting Preview, Prediction
At this point in the season, credit must be given to Diamondbacks starter Eduardo Rodriguez, as he's nearly cut his ERA in half from last season. However, he is also the biggest regression candidate across the big league circuit, and this matchup is about as tough as it gets.
Rodriguez's xERA of 4.32 and xFIP of 4.34 tell a much more realistic story of how fortunate he's been throughout the 2026 season. The veteran lefty has benefited greatly from hitters chasing and producing soft contact.
His CSW, walk rate, and first-pitch strike rate are all below average, according to Handigraphs. Falling behind quality lineups can often prove fatal for a starter, and that's what we saw in Rodriguez's last outing against San Diego.
He surrendered seven runs on 11 hits and still managed to pitch into the sixth inning. Today he faces a Dodgers lineup that can do an equal amount of damage, as Los Angeles is fifth in wRC+ against lefties, which is a product of elite bat-to-ball metrics and plate discipline.
Last night's low-scoring affair allowed the Diamondbacks to rest their bullpen for this series finale, so it's likely we see a quicker hook on Rodriguez when he inevitably is forced to work through traffic.
Fade him directly by taking the under on his outs prop.
Pick: Eduardo Rodriguez Under 17.5 Outs Recorded (+100, BetMGM)
