Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks: Picks and Betting Tips

</div> <p> <strong>Moneyline:</strong> The <strong>Dodgers</strong> <strong>(-148</strong> <strong>)</strong> are red-hot lately, winners of five straight, and nine of the past 10. The <strong>Diamondbacks</strong> ( <strong>+138)</strong> are a moderate underdog at home, but that's because they have allowed 33 runs over the past six games (5.6 runs per game). Take L.A. to stay hot.</p> <p> <strong>Run Line:</strong> The Dodgers ( <strong>-1.5, +110)</strong> are worth a small-unit bet on the run line, as they have the offense to stick with anyone. The Diamondbacks ( <strong>+1.5, -130)</strong> aren't terribly expensive if you're not feeling them on the moneyline, but they're risky because of their subpar pitching of late.</p> <p> <strong>Over/under:</strong> The <strong>OVER</strong> ( <strong>8.5</strong>, - <strong>115</strong>) is the play here. The over is 4-1-2 in Buehler's past seven starts, 4-1 in the past five on the road and 30-12-1 in Ray's past 43 home outings, too. The over is also 6-0 in Ray's past six at home vs. L.A., and 7-1 in the past eight against the Dodgers overall. In this series the over is 5-0 in the past five meetings, too.</p> <p> <em>Follow Joe on Twitter <strong> <a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/JoeWilliamsVI">@JoeWilliamsVI</a> </strong> </em> </p> <p><strong>MORE:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/09/burmese-python-discovered-in-surprising-place/?utm_source=USATAPP&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=inline-related">Burmese python discovered in surprising place</a></p> <p><a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/09/ufc-fighter-makes-opponent-flinch-by-screaming-in-his-face-during-staredown/?utm_source=USATAPP&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=inline-related">UFC fighter makes opponent flinch by screaming in his face during staredown</a></p> <p><a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/09/rangers-mike-minor-200th-strike-out-after-not-catching-foul-ball-on-purpose/?utm_source=USATAPP&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=inline-related">Rangers ripped for not catching easy foul ball so pitcher could reach milestone</a></p> <p><a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/09/mariners-felix-hernandez-walk-off-mound-emotional/?utm_source=USATAPP&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=inline-related">See Felix Hernandez's emotional walk off the mound for the Mariners</a></p> <p><a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/09/packers-eagles-goal-line-passes/?utm_source=USATAPP&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=inline-related">Packers' puzzling goal-line decisions end in disaster</a></p></body></html>
