Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

The Los Angeles Dodgers will send out Dustin May for tonight's game. May is 2-2 with a 3.46 ERA on the season. However, in the last 30 days, May has a 5.44 xFIP with 18.4% of strikeouts and 11.5% of walks. Still, the right-hander has earned 49.1% of ground balls while keeping line drives down to 17.5% in the last month. He's also limited hard contact to just over 26% in the last 30 days. Righties have a .337 wOBA and ISO of .167, but May has been much better against lefties in that same 30-day time frame. Arizona will likely have seven lefties in their lineup facing May. The lefties have a .165 wOBA with 19.9% of strikeouts against right-handed pitchers in the last 30 days. There's not much to worry about when facing the Diamondbacks lineup as a righty. On the other hand, Madison Bumgarner will get the call for Arizona. He's 6-15 with a 5.01 ERA. However, things have been even worse over the last 30 days. Bumgarner has a 6.02 xFIP with 10.5% of strikeouts.

He's also allowed nearly 30% of line drives with under 34% of ground balls. The lefty has also allowed 46.8% of hard contact. Lefties are hitting a .461 wOBA and ISO of .294 over the last 30 days. However, the bigger sample size is against righties, where he's allowing a .429 wOBA and ISO of .319. In the Dodgers' lineup, righties are hitting a .245 ISO with a wOBA of .366. That includes Mookie Betts, Trea Turner, and Justin Turner, who have all hit lefties very well recently. As a lineup, the Dodgers have a .226 ISO and wOBA of .372 with over 26% of line drives hit. Therefore, I'll back the Dodgers to win on the runline over Arizona tonight. The Dodgers usually don't lose two games in a row. They're 103-45. A multiple-run win should be in play tonight.
