Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks: game 3 prediction
Rookie Justin Wrobleski will start on the mound for the Dodgers. The right-handed pitcher has a record of 1-1 with a 4.68 ERA over his five starts. He will have his work cut out against a strong Diamondbacks lineup led by Corbin Carroll, who hit an inside the park lead off home run on Saturday. Carroll has a 10-game hit streak that he'll try to continue. Los Angeles will also look to consolidate right from the opening innings as in the first two games of the series.
Artizona's pitching staff is averaging 4.70 ERA over the last ten starts, and Brandon Pfaadt is scheduled to start on Sunday. In his last three starts, Pfaadt has a disastrous 7.41 ERA on 25 hits allowed; however, he also had 21 strikeouts.
Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman all went back-to-back home runs in the first inning. They are expected to be leading the team once again. However, Miguel Rojas has the best ten-game stretch for the team hitting 13-34 with six RBIs and one home run.
