Dodgers welcome Diamondbacks to Dodger Stadium
The Los Angeles Dodgers get ready to open a 3-game series with the Diamondbacks on Friday as they send Odalis Perez (2-0, 5.28 ERA) to the hill against Orlando Hernandez (1-2, 7.04 ERA).
Sporting a 7-9 overall record and a 5-5 mark within the division, the Diamondbacks aim to knock the Dodgers (1-2 in the division) for a loss.
Oddsmakers like the Dodgers in this one, opening the line at 150 in favor of Los Angeles. They are 7-9 this season, while the Diamondbacks are 7-9. The total, which is 8-8-0 to the OVER in Dodgers games and 9-6-1 in Diamondbacks games, opened at 8.5.
Bob Melvin's troops hosted San Francisco last game and came away with a 9-7 loss, a game that went over 10. Oddsmakers had them as pick in that one.
Grady Little's troops were at home against the Cubs last game and came away with a 5-4 loss, a game that went over 7.5. Oddsmakers had them as favorites.
Los Angeles hitters can get ready or be made to look foolish today, as the Diamondbacks staff boasts one of the best strikeout ratios in the league, fanning 7.9 per game.
