Arizona finally broke a six-game losing streak Sunday with win over the Giants in 10 innings, while the Dodgers completed a bizarre sweep of Colorado in which every game resulted in a walk-off win. There is spot value Monday on the Diamondbacks to make it two straight, as Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw is just 6-8 with a 3.70 ERA in 15 starts at Chase Field. Zack Greinke looks to avenge a road loss against the Dodgers in which he allowed seven runs.
The Dodgers have won six straight and Clayton Kershaw comes off his best start of the season going seven shutout innings. The Dodgers have won 11 of 12 starts by Kershaw this season. Arizona halted a six-game losing streak with a 3-2 win yesterday, but its bats and bullpen have been a mess in the last week. Zack Greinke comes off a rough start allowing five runs to the Rockies and his worst start came in the opener against the Dodgers allowing seven runs. Dodgers are the play.
The Dodgers are hot right now, although they’ve won their last three games on walk off homers. Clayton Kershaw is 7-1 with a 2.85 ERA while Zack Greinke is 8-3 with a 2.91 ERA. However, at Chase Field Kershaw is 6-8 with a 3.7 ERA. The Diamondbacks have the third highest OPS against lefties and they are finally healthy with Ketel Marte and Jake Lamb back. The Dodgers are a completely different team on the road, I like the value in the Diamondbacks.
The Dodgers are a ridiculous 11-1 when Clayton Kershaw gets the ball. But the Diamondbacks are 10-6 when Zack Greinke starts, and his overall numbers are just as good. Kershaw's been below average at Chase Field -- above average for most, but below for the future Hall of Famer. Arizona wins half of my computer simulations, which at this decent underdog price makes them a value. Take the home dog.
