Arizona at Los Angeles

The D-Backs come to LA riding a 7-1 streak, and have played very well for a longer stretch. The D-Backs have gone 33-16 in their last 49 games. They have plated 52 runs in their last eight, out-scoring their opponents by nearly 2.5 runs per game (RPG). Arizona is on a nice run with Davis on the mound as they are now 11-1 in his last 12 starts. He has absolutely stymied the Dodgers, working 30 innings over his career against them, allowing zero runs and just 16 hits! Brad Penny has had a great season, but the greatest part of it was early, as he pitched the Dodgers to a 14-2 record in his first 16 starts, while his ERA was 2.04. The Dodgers are just 8-6 in his last 14 starts, and his ERA has nearly doubled to 3.75. The Dodgers are 19-20 since August 2, and have not played like the D-Backs. We will ride the hot D-Backs in this one with a pitcher in Davis that has allowed nothing from this Dodgers’ team in 30 innings.
