Arizona at Los Angeles

Would you believe last place Arizona has a better road record than the first place Dodgers have at home? Arizona is playing well on offense, 11th in baseball in runs scored, pounding out 10 hits and six runs yesterday. They have a good arm going in Josh Collmenter (3.75 ERA), and the Diamondbacks are 4-1 in Collmenter's last five starts vs. a team with a winning record. The Los Angeles Dodgers are 2-3 the last five games and having troubling in the field, second to last in fielding in baseball with 19 errors. Los Angeles has a losing record at home and a 33-year old overweight former ace on the mound in Josh Beckett (4.00 ERA). The team is 0-2 his first two starts, walking six in nine innings and allowing 13 base runners. The Dodgers are 0-4 in Beckett's last four home starts and 0-5 in his last five starts overall. The Dodgers are also 1-7 in Beckett's last eight starts as a favorite of -110 to -150, and the Diamondbacks are 13-6 in the last 19 meetings in Los Angeles. Play Arizona.
