Why The Diamondbacks Could Cover The Spread

The Diamondbacks are 1-2, mainly thanks to an inconsistent offense. Also, they have struggled to handle the Los Angeles attack, both at the plate and on the mound. Kyle Lewis went 1 for 4 in the leadoff spot. Likewise, he is batting .222. Ketel Marte went 0 for 4 last night. Moreover, he is batting .091 this season. Newcomer Lourdes Gurriel Jr. went 0 for 4. Sadly, he has struggled with his new team, batting .167. Walker went 2 for 3 and is hitting .400 at the plate. Meanwhile, Evan Longoria went 0 for 3 and continues to struggle at the plate with a .143 batting average. Corbin Carroll went 0 for 3 and is .200. Likewise, Nick Ahmed went 1 for 3 and is batting .250.

The Diamondbacks did not give their hitters much of a chance after the first inning. Thus, they put themselves in a significant hole. Bumgarner made one too many mistakes. Thus, the pitches did not hit the zone and often found themselves leaving the ballpark.

The Diamondbacks must remain consistent at the plate. Thus, they need to find a way to get past the tough pitching they will face. The Diamondbacks will cover the spread if they can score some runs and build an early lead. Then, they need a strong effort from Davis, and to hold down the fort against a tough lineup.

Why The Dodgers Could Cover The Spread

The Dodgers are playing exactly as one would expect. First, they won on Opening Day. The Dodgers suffered a letdown on the second day but bounced back in a significant way on Saturday. Therefore, always expect this loaded offense to be a threat at the plate. Syndergaard is a solid pitcher and can get hot.

Mookie Betts went 1 for 3 in Saturday's game. Ultimately, he is batting .200 right now. Freddie Freeman went 1 for 3. Moreover, he is batting .250. Martinez went 2 for 3. Significantly, he is batting .273 with his new team. Max Muncy continued to struggle, going 0 for 3. Sadly, he is only batting .077 through three games. Chris Taylor has yet to hit the baseball and went 0 for 3 in Saturday's game. However, Thompson had a career game.

The Dodgers jumped out to a monster lead. Therefore, it allowed Kershaw to settle into a groove, even when he made a mistake in the second inning. The offense showed up and destroyed Arizona when it mattered most.

The Dodgers will cover the spread if they can jump out to an early lead. Then, Syndergaard must throw five consistent innings.

Final Diamondbacks-Dodgers Prediction & Pick

The Dodgers are a better team, especially at Chavez Ravine. Thus, the only way the Diamondbacks win this game is if they jump on Syndergaard early. Expect the Dodgers to keep the offense rolling.

Final Diamondbacks-Dodgers Prediction & Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers: -1.5 (+104)
