Los Angeles at Arizona

Rodriguez delivered 8.1 innings of one-run ball against the Mets in his last start, and he's now carrying a sub-2.60 ERA through 53-plus innings this season. After back-to-back 5.00-plus ERA campaigns in Arizona, the veteran left-hander has been a different arm entirely in 2026: pounding the zone, limiting damage, and consistently going deep into games. Sheehan, meanwhile, has been one of the weaker rotation options in the NL this year. A mechanical issue that surfaced in spring has cost him nearly two ticks off his fastball velocity, and it's shown — he's posted an ERA just under 5.00 across ten starts, with a pattern of fading as games progress. Arizona lit him up in his season debut, chasing him before the fourth inning. The market is leaning on the Dodgers' reputation for their roster here, but the pitching matchup tells a different story. Rodriguez is pitching the best baseball of his Diamondbacks tenure. Sheehan is still working through a problem that hasn't been fully solved. Take the Diamondbacks.
