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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
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). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thursday night’s game is a rematch of Dustin May<\/a><\/strong> (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs Merrill Kelly<\/strong> (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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
