Arizona has lost five of nine despite playing the last six at home. Pitching is the problem, ranked 22nd in ERA (4.48) and 20th in WHIP, with a bullpen that is 24th in ERA (4.60). Joe Mantiply (4.67 ERA) takes the mound after failing to record an out in an 8-3 loss to Detroit. The Diamondbacks are 28-107 as an underdog of +200 or higher, including 22-92 on the road. The star-studded Los Angeles offense is second in runs and slugging, plus No. 1 in on-base percentage, while the pitching is third in ERA (3.14) and second in WHIP. Batters are hitting just .217 off starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto (3.21 ERA). The Dodgers are 32-7 at home after two or more straight victories, so back home field. Play Los Angeles.
