The MLB is back for a new season, and with that, an 11-game slate is scheduled for Thursday. One of the games featured on Thursday will be an NL West division rivalry between the Arizona Diamondbacks (0-0) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (0-0). Let's take a look at the match statistics and predictions for this game between the Diamondbacks and the Dodgers.
Arizona enters this season having finished 80-82 in 2025 and missing the playoffs. While the Diamondbacks are hopeful to improve this season, the fact that they play in the NL West puts serious doubt on any deep run. Arizona is scheduled to start Zac Gallen, who finished 2025 with a record of 13-15 and posted an ERA of 4.83.
As for Los Angeles, they come into the new season off another World Series title in 2025. The Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays four games to three to claim back-to-back World Series titles.
This season should be more of the same for the Dodgers, starting with the season opener against the Diamondbacks. Los Angeles is set to start Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who posted a 12-8 record in 2025 and had an ERA of 2.49. Further, Yamamoto went 5-1 in the postseason with an ERA of 1.45 and looks like he will be just as dominant this season.

Our Los Angeles Dodgers vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
It is no surprise to see the Dodgers as the heavy favorite, given that they have dominated the MLB over the last two seasons. That said, Los Angeles still looks to be the best betting option. Of the Dodgers' seven wins against the Diamondbacks last season, four of them were by multiple runs.
Further, Los Angeles has a clear advantage in the starting pitching matchup, with Yamamoto proving to be a true ace last season, while Gallen has struggled with being inconsistent. Additionally, the Dodgers have a stacked lineup from top to bottom, which includes arguably the best player in the league right now, that being Shohei Ohtani. Because of that, our Arizona Diamondbacks vs Los Angeles Dodgers prediction is: Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
