Prediction

This matchup pitches Justin Wrobleski for the Dodgers against Brandon Pfaadt for the Diamondbacks. Wrobleski has a 1-1 record with a 4.68 ERA this season, allowing eight hits and six runs in his last 10.2 innings. Pfaadt, in his second year in the Dbacks' rotation, holds an 8-7 record with a 4.31 ERA and 145 strikeouts. Considering the Dodgers’ ability to rally, coupled with the uncertainty from Wrobleski’s limited action, the Diamondbacks could turn home field into an advantage.

More

• This will be Wrobleski’s first time pitching against a division opponent.

• Ohtani’s 15 stolen bases without getting caught in August tied manager Dave Roberts (March/April 2024) for the most in a month in team history.

• Outfielder Teoscar Hernández smoked a double last night in the sixth inning, extending his
on-base streak to 10 games, the longest active streak on the Dodgers.

Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
