Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks: Will the Streak Snap? SHOCKING Prediction!
The Los Angeles Dodgers are facing a tough situation: a four-game losing streak. But there's hope on the horizon—ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto is taking the mound against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday, May 20th. Can he lead the Dodgers to victory? Let's dive into the details!
Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers: A Clash of Titans
While the Diamondbacks snatched the first game of the series, the odds favor the home team, the Dodgers, for Tuesday's matchup. The pitching matchup is key: Ryne Nelson (1-1, 5.13 ERA) will face off against the formidable Yamamoto (5-3, 2.12 ERA). Nelson's recent bullpen appearances and higher ERA present a significant challenge.
Despite their current slump, the Dodgers remain atop the NL West. This divisional battle promises excitement, and we're here to break down the key elements for you.

Best MLB Prop Bets
Freddie Freeman OVER 1.5 Total Bases (+110): Freeman's recent hot streak (.420 batting average over his last 56 plate appearances) makes this a compelling plus-money bet, especially considering Nelson's struggles and the Diamondbacks' weak bullpen.
Our Prediction & Pick
While the Dodgers' recent performance is concerning, Yamamoto's talent and home-field advantage make them the better bet. Nelson's inconsistency and Arizona's struggling bullpen add to the Dodgers' chances of snapping their losing streak. Yamamoto's recent outings might seem shaky, but his overall season statistics remain impressive.
Pick: Dodgers -1.5 (-110 at DraftKings)
