The Dodgers have played a very weak schedule to start the season, and to their credit have used it to build the best record in MLB as we approach Memorial Day. The blue and white have been nearly invincible at home where they are 19-4, but a lot more pedestrian on the road where they own an 11-9 mark. Joe Saunders has a 3.55 ERA on the season, and most of the damage done against him was in back-to-back starts where he allowed 6 runs in each of them. He has otherwise been very sharp, allowing just 8 total runs in his other six starts, so he is very capable here. The Dodgers are facing their most glaring weakness, as they are 1-5 in their last six on the road vs. a left-handed starter. Saunders has led the D-Backs to a 9-2 mark starting in a game following an Arizona output of 5 runs or more. Play on Arizona.
