The L.A. Dodgers have gotten off to a 4-2 start to the season, but they have somewhat of a challenge on Thursday night playing their first road game of the year at the 3-3 Diamondbacks. These two are familiar foes, opening the season at Chavez Ravine where they split a four game series which is why Arizona may not be as big of an underdog as maybe predicted in the Dodgers vs Diamondbacks meeting.
Before Betting on Dodgers vs Diamondbacks
When these teams met in Los Angeles it was a tale of two splits, with the Dodgers winning their games 8-2 and 10-1 while Arizona picked up a couple of 2-1 victories. That’s not a ton of offense in the series for the Diamondbacks, but they did bounce back to score 12 in a two game split with the Padres this week (4-5, 8-6).
Thursday night’s game is a rematch of Dustin May (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs Merrill Kelly (0-0, 0.00 ERA) from last Friday. May went 7.0 IP while allowing just 3 hits and 0 ER, while Kelly lasted only 3.2 IP and walked four batters, but also didn’t give up a run.
Arizona picked up a nice split against Los Angeles in their four game set to start the year, but that may be an anomaly as they were just 5-14 against the Dodgers last season. It’s the home opener for the Diamondbacks though, and they were a decent 40-41 at Chase Field in 2022 – decent compared to their 34-47 road record that is.

Dodgers vs Diamondbacks Prediction & Pick
May was dominant last Friday and should build on that even on the road considering Arizona has one of the worst offenses in baseball through the first week of the season.
