Game Preview
The Los Angeles Dodgers will host the four-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chavez Ravine after a close call where they almost got swept by the Philadelphia Phillies in their four-game series last week. But that was just a bump on the road for them, the Dodgers are currently sitting at 5th place in the league, and winning against the Diamondbacks will put them in a much better position in the standings.
Now, if we look at the National League West division, the Arizona Diamondbacks are only 3 wins away from catching up to the Dodgers who are leading the division. Winning this series might launch them all the way to the top of the standings, although it will be one of their biggest challenges so far in this season.
The Dodgers will send Tony Gonsolin as their starting pitcher, who had a solid performance last week, allowing no earned runs on one hit with five strikeouts over five innings. But the defense is not what makes the Dodgers such a strong team, with players like Mookie Betts, Cody Bellinger, and Max Muncy, the Dodgers’ offense looks like one of the best ones in the league.
They have scored 174 runs so far, which puts them in 2nd place, but compared to the rest of the strongest teams, they only have 32 home runs, which puts them at the bottom half of the standings in this regard.
Trying to hold the Dodgers offense, the Diamondbacks will put Madison Bumgarner on the mound, which makes things very interesting. Bumgarner holds a 1.78 ERA over seven starts this season, he recently had an amazing performance against the Miami Marlins where he tossed 6 ⅓ innings and allowed only two earned runs and six hits. If Bumgarner has a solid start then the Diamondback might have a real chance to win against the Dodgers.
