It’s not a slump yet, but the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers seem to have lost their rhythm lately, just a bit.

Fresh off a six-game winning streak, L.A. has lost two of three and will be starting a waiver-wire pickup as they try to even things with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Arizona has won six of the last nine and has an edge in the mound matchup. My Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks predictions and MLB picks call for the D-Backs to get another win.

Who will win Dodgers vs Diamondbacks today: Diamondbacks moneyline (+105)

The Arizona Diamondbacks have won 15 of the last 22. The Diamondbacks have 18 wins this year as an underdog, including a 9-6, .600 mark as a home dog.

I’d take Arizona as long as L.A. is favored. Only two Los Angeles Dodgers have hits in limited exposure to Arizona starter Michael Soroka, a problem, considering he relies on the seldom-seen slurve.

Since going 11 straight games without allowing a run, the Dodgers' bullpen has imploded, giving up 13 earned runs in 21 innings. The rotation has also been shaky. L.A. starts Eric Lauer, DFAed by Toronto two weeks ago after posting a 6.91 FIP.

Covers COVERS INTEL:  Lauer has lost more than 1 MPH and 100 revolutions of spin off his four-seamer from last year. His cutter, curve, and slider have all lost spin rate as well. Hitters have noticed. After allowing seven fastball homers all last year, he’s given up nine so far this season as hitters are slugging .600 against the four-seam.

Dodgers vs Diamondbacks Over/Under pick: Under 9.5 (-110)

The Dodgers have allowed four runs or fewer in the last five games. They’ve also scored four or fewer in four of them. The D-Backs have scored below five runs in each of the last three and four of five while allowing under five in three of five.

Soroka added a cutter to his slurve/four-seamer mix, resulting in a big dip in hard-hit rate and a 7-2 record with a 3.25 ERA. Arizona’s bullpen hasn’t allowed a run in three games and has surrendered just one earned run in the last five

The Under is a safe bet, but if the odds go beyond -125, your money might be better spent elsewhere.
