Blake Snell has pitched very well since returning from a lengthy hiatus on the Injured List. Snell has looked excellent all month and will get a neutral matchup against a normally stingy Arizona lineup. The D-Backs have the 6th highest K Rate over the last 14 days and this line feels discounted coupled with a good price point.

I'll just be honest in that I'm playing -1 at about -140. I thought Arizona's Zac Gallen would have a big year ahead of free agency, but that has decidedly not been the case at 9-13 with a 5.13 ERA. Definitely cost himself some money, but I'm pretty sure he won't wanting for suitors this winter. Decent amount of Dodgers have good career splits off him.

Zac Gallen takes on Blake Snell in LA and I'm backing the Dodgers to get to Gallen and come away with the win in the first five innings. The Arizona righty has been much better in August, turning in four quality starts from five outings, but he gave up 10 hits to this lineup earlier this year and has yielded runs in each recent start despite the success. Blake Snell on the other hand has allowed just two runs in his last 18 innings (three starts), with 18 strikeouts and no home runs allowed. Freddie Freeman should be back in the lineup, and that jolt of offensive energy should be just what the Dodgers need against Gallen who's been significantly worse against lefties this year.

Freddie Freeman's advanced metrics remain elite with a .501 slugging percentage and .874 OPS, while his 10.4% barrel rate and 45.8% hard-hit rate indicate continued power production capability. He has hit right-handers extremely hard and owns a .600 slugging percentage against Zac Gallen, spanning 25 at-bats. Freeman is back in the lineup after missing Wednesday due to a stinger. He is ready to return from a two-day break and has a batting average of .330 following a day off.
