Arizona is off to a brutal start, and their resume at home shows 4-18 on the season. Those numbers would become historic lows if it were to continue, so right now I see a lot of value on this team at home. Arizona will ultimately improve upon their home mark, and right now the oddsmakers are under-valuing them at home. Chase Anderson will certainly help to change that. Anderson had a 20 inning scoreless streak at AA Mobile, and an overall 0.69 ERA, and he quickly had success in his debut, allowing 1 run in 5.1 innings of work on just 2 hits. The Dodgers are now 0-5 in a game after they allowed 2 runs or fewer, while Arizona now 5-1 after allowing 5 or more. Kershaw has struggled vs. Arizona where the Dodgers are now 1-6 in his last seven starts against them. Take the Diamondbacks.
