Arizona Diamondbacks vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 6/3/26, 11:20 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 6/3/26 at 11:39 PM in MLB Picks

In the desert, the Diamondbacks and the reigning two-time MLB champions, the Dodgers, will conclude their four-game series on Thursday. The Dodgers have extended their dominance over their divisional rivals, having won seven of their last eight games against Arizona. Justin Wrobleski is expected to start the Dodgers' final game, while the Snakes will use Ryne Nelson, who had an excellent May.

Between Eduardo Rodríguez, two relief appearances from the bullpen, and the highly effective closer Sewald, the D-backs managed to contain the Dodgers' rampant offense in Game 1, with home runs from Troy, Arenado, and Marte building the lead in the victory. However, the script was radically different in Games 2 and 3, as the Dodgers' star-studded lineup dominated.

In Game 2, Ohtani, hot at the plate again, combined with Freeman for a 5-for-9 performance that included four RBIs. In Game 3, Tucker came through and hit a two-run homer that drove in Mookie Betts, giving the Dodgers an early lead. By the sixth inning of that game, the Dodgers had 10 hits, while Ohtani held the D-backs to just one.
