For some reason, the Arizona Diamondbacks have played the Dodgers very well over the years. Even when they’ve struggled, they’ve stole some games from their division rival more often than not. Tonight, they welcome in the Dodgers for a three game series at home. Will the snakes bite, or will James Paxton continue his dominant start to the season on Monday?

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
You’re telling me the Los Angeles Dodgers are only (-130) on the moneyline tonight against the struggling young lefty in Arizona? Who made these lines? Paxton currently owns a 2.61 ERA; Tommy Henry’s ERA is more than double that number. With the total set at o/u 10, it seems like oddsmakers are expecting a shootout tonight…
If Paxton was going to throw another gem tonight, his fantasy score wouldn’t be so low on DFS apps and this total wouldn’t have been set this high. The high total plays right into the Diamondbacks strengths in this matchup tonight. Could we be in for Paxton’s first blow-up start of the season? If anyone can do it, it’s the Diamondbacks…
Arizona is currently hitting .316 against left-handed pitching this season. That is more than 100 points higher than their average against right-handers. Although the snakes have yet to get back to their dominant form from 2023, you couldn’t ask for a better matchup…
The Dodgers barely opening up a favorite against Arizona tells you everything you need to know about how this game is going to play out. The high total tells me the bats will be active tonight from both teams, but with Arizona’s great matchup against a soft-throwing lefty, I’ll take my chances with the snakes at plus-money. Back Arizona on the moneyline; I’ll meet you at the cash counter.
