This is a 10* on the DODGERS

While it doesn’t make up for losing the 2017 World Series, it sure had to feel good for the Dodgers to take both games against Houston this week. Last night’s game went 13 innings, with LA winning 4-2. The Dodgers are the best team in baseball in our estimation and should continue to roll tonight in Arizona where they’ll face the division rival Diamondbacks. Arizona has yet to score more than four runs in any game. That’s a problem period, but especially when up against arguably the strongest lineup in MLB. Don’t expect things to change for the D’backs today against Ross Stripling. Stripling gave up one run in seven innings his first start, a 9-1 win over the Giants. While this is Arizona’s first home game, that’s not enough to overcome a much better ballclub. They’re going with Robbie Ray, who actually has good career numbers vs. LA but he didn’t look all that impressive last week. Ray lasted only 3 ⅔ innings and walked three batters in a game Arizona lost 5-1. 10* on LA DODGERS
