(957) Los Angeles Dodgers at (958) Arizona Diamondbacks
4% Rotation #957: MLB Sunday 4% OVER 9 -115 in Arizona Diamondbacks vs Los Angeles Dodgers @ 4:10 ET - The Diamondbacks just continue to get involved in high-scoring games and I do not see that changing here. The expected pitching match-up is Justin Wrobleski vs Brandon Pfaadt. No matter the pitchers (as per usual my play is action) I am expecting plenty of runs here but I will start with talking about these pitchers. Wrobleski was called up from AAA for this start. His final start before being sent down to the minors saw him allow 3 homers in 5 innings at St Louis. Things did not get better for Wrobleski after his demotion after he allowed 18 hits and 12 walks at AAA OKC in 15.1 innings spanning 3 outings. Yes he allowed an average of 2 baserunners per inning and he is set to get into big trouble again early and often at Arizona. The Diamondbacks have the #1 batting average in home games this season in the majors. They are going to give the struggling pitcher some problems at Chase Field I am sure. Also, the Dodgers have the #1 slugging percentage in the NL in day games. The Dodgers should be teeing off against Pfaadt here. He has allowed 24 earned runs in 34.1 innings over his last 6 starts. In his 5 starts in August he got hit at a .310 clip. The Dodgers have won 10 of 12 games and have scored 6.4 runs per game in their last ten games! The Diamondbacks are 25-10 last 35 games (yes, even with losing 3 straight) and have averaged scoring 7 runs per game during this stretch. So in a game where 7-6 would not surprise me in the least, the fact we can get this over at 9 is a great value. We take advantage with a higher rated play here. 4% OVER 9 -115 in Arizona
