Arizona Diamondbacks vs Los Angeles Dodgers Predictions 3/30/2023
The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the best record in baseball last season but fell short in the playoffs, losing to the San Diego Padres in four games during the NLCS.
Despite the loss of key players such as Trea Turner, Justin Turner, Cody Bellinger, Joey Gallo, and Edwin Rios, the team has made some astute veteran signings in J.D. Martinez, David Peralta, Miguel Rojas, and Jason Heyward.
As a result, the Dodgers’ offensive production is unlikely to take a significant hit.
The Dodgers averaged 5.17 runs per game last season and a .257 batting average that was the fourth-best in the league. They also had a league-leading .333 on-base percentage and a second-best .442 slugging percentage.
Freddie Freeman emerged as one of their top players, leading the team with a .325 batting average, 21 home runs, and 100 RBI.
The Dodgers’ pitching staff was among the league’s finest, giving up a meager 3.18 runs per game last season.
- The total stayed UNDER in 10 of the LA Dodgers’ last 11 matches with the D-Backs.
- The total remained UNDER in 4 of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ last 6 games at home.
- The Dodgers are 12-2 SU in their last 14 games at home against Arizona.
Arizona Diamondbacks vs Los Angeles Dodgers. The MLB pick for this game is the Los Angeles Dodgers. Expect the LADodgers to fight it out with San Diego in the standings.
The Dodgers let go of most of their free agents in the off-season and the roster doesn’t look quite as dominant as it used to. LA will still be right in the mix for the division title.
The young D-Backs team is looking at an optimistic future and should continue to improve in 2023.
The pitching staff—particularly the bullpen—probably still needs some work, but there seem to be brighter days on the horizon. The LA Dodgers will win predicted to a score of 7-4.
