#903/904 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Over 8.5 Runs - Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks, Monday at 4:10 PM ET - The Diamondbacks have won 28 of 40 games since the All-Star break. Arizona has scored an average of 6.9 runs in the last 36 of those games and, as you would expect, have been trending strongly to the over! The Dodgers had won 10 of 12 games prior to yesterday's 14-3 loss here and they have averaged scoring 6.1 runs in their last 11 games. The Dodgers start Jack Flaherty here and he has mostly good numbers since coming to LA from the Tigers. We say "mostly" because he just allowed 2 homers for the 3rd time in 4 starts and 3 of those 4 starts were at home! Now he is on the road and, keep in mind, facing the Diamondbacks at Arizona is a tough match-up! The Dbacks have the #1 batting average at home in the majors this season! As for the Arizona starter, Eduardo Rodriguez, he has made 4 starts since his return. One of those was against one of the weakest hitting teams (Miami) in the majors and he allowed only 1 earned run but 6 hits in 5 innings. In the other 3 starts since he returned he allowed 11 earned runs in 16 innings! He just allowed 5 earned runs in 5 innings versus the Mets and he faces another very tough challenge here. The Dodgers have the #1 slugging percentage in the NL this season! Two very solid hitting teams and also the Diamondbacks bullpen ERA ranks 20th in the majors and the runs keep rolling in at Chase Field. Overall, 25 of the last 34 Arizona games have totaled at least 9 runs and that trend continues here! Also, 15 of the last 18 Diamondbacks home games have totaled at least 9 runs and 13 of those 15 got to 10+ runs! Over is the call in this one Monday afternoon.
