Arizona Diamondbacks vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 8/30/24, 6:22 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 8/30/24 at 6:42 PM in MLB Picks

Dodgers are coming to the Arizona desert to visit the Diamondbacks in what will probably be the best game of the weekend in a series that will be 4 games.

Diamondbacks are probably the most heated teams in the MLB and have made Chase Field a fortress in the second half and where they already have a record of 38-28, the D-backs hitters already have a collective OBP of 334 ranking as the 2nd best in all of the MLB. It will be a series with a postseason aroma, even more so when in the last NLDS the D-backs eliminated against all odds the Dodgers who had achieved 100 victories.

D-backs are coming off of losing their first series at home, the last time having been on June 28, regarding that Lovullo said that "This group is hungry, and they want to go out and play a complete baseball game."

Dodgers bounced back from a poor second half when they won 8 of their last 10 games, even with Freeman's serious absence following his injury. In the last few games prior to his injury, Freeman was not in top form at bat and had gone 3-for-23 against the Mariners and Rays.
