It won't help the Dodgers’ cause down the stretch as they have a limited lineup, and will go the rest of the way without perhaps their best hitter in Andre Ethier who is down with a knee injury. Ted Lilly is now age 35-years-old and has been slowed by age and injury and brings a rather pedestrian ERA of 4.37 into this game. Arizona happens to be the hottest team in baseball at 16-3 over their last 19 games. Joe Saunders has stepped it up on the mound as he has allowed just 6 runs in his last three starts. The D-backs’ momentum rolls on as they are 20-6 in their last 26 games following a game where they scored 5 or more runs. The Dodgers have had little to brag about behind Lilly vs. a winning team, where they are 1-6 in their last seven games vs. a greater than .500 club. The D-backs are also reaping the harvest in LA where they have won four of the last five meetings. Arizona is the pick, so play the Diamond backs.
