Los Angeles Dodgers (4-2) vs. Arizona Diamondbacks (3-3)
The 2023 Major League Baseball Season is rolling through the second week of the season with this NL West clash between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field in Glendale, Arizona on Thursday, April 6, 2023. Los Angeles enters as the favorite at -150 with the total set at 8.5.
The teams split four games to begin the season, with Arizona winning their two games by identical 2-1 scores. The Dodgers outscored Arizona 20-7 in the series.
The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday, 5-2, completing a sweep of their two-game series. The Dodgers moved to 4-2 at home and will be playing their first game on the road this season. Los Angeles shutout Colorado for eight innings as Julio Urias tossed six shutout innings.
The Dodgers' pitching has been great early on, third in baseball with a 2.17 ERA. The staff has allowed just 44 base runners in 54.0 innings, giving them an impressive 0.81 WHIP. Dustin May will be making his second start of the season. The right-hander allowed no runs on three hits in his first start, a great sign after he pitched just 30 innings in 2022 before going on the disabled list for most of the year.
Three has been a theme for the #Dodgers during this homestand. On Tuesday, the Dodgers hit three homers and Will Smith homered for the third game in a row. LA closes out homestand 1 with a sweep of the Rockies.
