The Los Angeles Dodgers head to the desert for a four-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks beginning Monday night.

The Boys in Blue are the hottest team in baseball, so my Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks predictions and MLB picks for Monday, June 1, see the visitors snagging a victory.

Who will win Dodgers vs Diamondbacks today: Dodgers (-155)


Both starting pitchers tell a tale of regression, but the moral is quite different.

Eduardo Rodriguez’s 2.31 ERA is unsupported by his 4.44 xERA. His 89 Stuff+ is one of the worst you’ll see among Big League starters, so his hot start is bound to fizzle out as the season progresses.

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Emmet Sheehan’s 4.70 ERA will positively regress given his 3.88 xERA and 3.29 xFIP. He dazzles with a 20.7% K-BB% and should flummox an Arizona Diamondbacks lineup with a 91 wRC+ in the last 20 days despite facing poor competition.

Good until -160.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Sheehan dazzles with his slider, generating a .190 xBA and a 41.3% whiff rate. He should find success against the Diamondbacks, who rank 25th in runs above average (-11.8) against sliders.

Dodgers vs Diamondbacks Over/Under pick: Under 8.5 (+107)

The Dodgers have been profitable to the Under (25-34 O/U) this season despite having a potent lineup.

That’s in large part due to a revamped bullpen that suppresses opponent scoring regardless of who the starting pitcher is. They allowed just 24 earned runs in May while sporting a sterling 2.96 FIP.

The only team to let in fewer runs? Arizona, which allowed 18 earned runs en route to a 2.18 ERA.

LA has hit the Over just once in Sheehan’s last four starts, while Arizona has done so once in Rodriguez’s last six.
