MLB Pick
- Diamondbacks ML (+110) at Bet365 (check our Bet365 Review)
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Arizona Diamondbacks
Saturday, August 31, 2024 – 08:10 PM ET at Chase Field
The AI Model likes the Diamondbacks to earn a 4.2-3.9 victory over the Dodgers in tonight’s game. That said, you can find the Diamondbacks at +110 on the moneyline on Bet365. The model likes the home underdogs!
Arizona’s Lineup Is Lethal
Over the last 30 days, the Arizona Diamondbacks’ projected lineup has hit a .240 ISO and wOBA of .391 against righties. Only Luis Guillorme has hit a below-average ISO and wOBA, but he’s typically in games for his defensive ability. The other eight batters have all hit a wOBA of at least .349 against righties.
Meanwhile, they’ll take on Gavin Stone of the Dodgers. Stone is a right-handed pitcher who has allowed nearly 35% of fly balls from lefties. He’s also allowed a .268 ISO and wOBA of .376 to righties.
Arizona has many ways to attack him from both sides of the plate.
Merrill Kelly Can Be Better
This game figures to be a shootout with Merrill Kelly on the mound. Kelly has been just as bad as Stone over the last month, allowing a .254 ISO and wOBA of .392 to his previous 71 batters.
But to be fair, Kelly is a veteran pitcher who can hit spots and make pitches when needed. In addition, the Dodgers have struck out 22.2% of the time against righties over the last 30 days. It’s way more likely the Dodgers go down swinging more times than the Diamondbacks do tonight.
The Pick
At home, the Diamondbacks will win as slight underdogs. Arizona will have a sold-out crowd, and hopefully, it will play off the vibes.
