Dodgers vs Diamondbacks Prediction
I’m on the Diamondbacks in this one. I get that it’s never really fun to go against the Dodgers, but Corbin Burnes is finally looking like the ace-level arm that the Diamondbacks were hoping they’d get when they brought him in the offseason. Burnes also has some strong numbers against the Dodgers in his career, and I think he can get the job done here. Give me the Diamondbacks in this one.
