D-Backs, Dodgers hook up in NL West game
Coming off a 6-3 loss last time out, Arizona can redeem themselves and get back on the winning track Saturday at Los Angeles.
The Diamondbacks sit at the bottom of the National League West standings with a lame 7-10 mark, but hand the ball to Miguel Batista to try to get another notch in the win column. Batista brings a 1-0 record and a 5.09 ERA into this game.
Arizona brings a 7-10 overall mark (5-6 in the division) into this game versus a Los Angeles team carrying an 8-9 record.
Oddsmakers like the Dodgers in this one, opening the line at 150 in favor of Los Angeles. They are 8-9 this season, while the Diamondbacks are 7-10. The total, which is 8-8-1 to the OVER in Dodgers games and 9-6-2 in Diamondbacks games, opened at 8.
After losing their last game, Bob Melvin's team looks to bounce back with a solid showing on the road Saturday. They were underdogs in that game, which went as a push against the total of 9.
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 7.6 per game.
ARI: M. Batista (1-0, 5.09)
LAD: J. Seo (0-1, 6.43)
