The Arizona Diamondbacks will try to take the advantage in the third game of their series against the Dodgers, but to do so, they'll need to survive baseball's best player.
Shohei Ohtani is on the mound for L.A., and he'll also be at the plate. He's won his last three starts and homered in the last two, matching the number of home runs he's given up all season.
He's good, but the odds have been pushed to ridiculous heights. My Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks predictions and MLB picks try to find a way to earn by taking the D-Backs and the runs.
Who will win Dodgers vs Diamondbacks today: Diamondbacks +1.5 (+100)
Shohei Ohtani's great, but not unbeatable. He's lost two of his last five starts, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are just 5-4 in games Ohtani pitches. Bettors have Ohtani fever, though. The Dodgers are such favorites that they're impossible to bet on. Even giving up runs, L.A. is favored.
Getting even money and runs for the Arizona Diamondbacks is an easy call, although if the Arizona moneyline gets much higher—say +185—it's worth a flier on an outright upset. Even in a best-case scenario for L.A., Arizona will get two innings against a L.A. pen that has a 7.82 ERA and 1.97 WHIP in the last three.
COVERS INTEL: He's still been strong, but Ohtani has been more vulnerable in road games. The Dodgers have lost three of their four road starts, and he allows batters to hit 64 points higher and 100 points higher in OPS away from Dodger Stadium, and strikes out 3.7 fewer batters per nine innings. 
Dodgers vs Diamondbacks Over/Under pick: Pick (Odds)
The Under looks appealing with Zac Gallen pitching much better at home than on the road this season. While his overall numbers are unimpressive, he has been far more effective in Phoenix, where opponents have struggled to generate consistent offense against him.
Arizona's bullpen is also in excellent form, posting a 1.69 ERA over its last three games and providing reliable support if Gallen can work through the middle innings. Recent results also favor a lower-scoring game, as both teams have scored five or more runs in only two of their last six contests.
