Los Angeles is on top of its game, winning four of its last six, including a 10-run explosion just two nights ago. The offense is led by Shohei Ohtani, who has crushed 10 homers while hitting .299. Teoscar Hernández continues to produce with a .315 average and 34 RBIs. The team’s .259 average and league-leading 59 homers show this lineup is dangerous from top to bottom. On the mound, Sasaki has been up and down, walking 20 in just over 30 innings, but the raw stuff is there, and he’s been limiting hits well.

Los Angeles boasts a solid 3.68 team ERA and 1.27 WHIP. The bullpen is banged up with Evan Phillips and Michael Kopech sidelined, and ace Clayton Kershaw remains on the shelf. Still, the Dodgers have held opponents to a .231 average and are 18-9 in night games. Sasaki’s command is a concern, but his ability to miss bats and keep the ball in the park (4 HR in 30.1 IP) gives the Dodgers a decent edge on the hill.

Arizona has been inconsistent, alternating wins and losses over the last five games and dropping two of three to the Mets. Eduardo Rodriguez hasn’t helped, giving up 44 hits and seven homers in just 38 innings. At the plate, Corbin Carroll has been a bright spot with 11 home runs and a .297 average, while Geraldo Perdomo has added 30 RBIs. Overall, the team’s .246 average and 46 homers trail far behind the Dodgers’ firepower.

On the mound, the D-backs carry a 4.47 ERA and 1.29 WHIP. Rodriguez has struggled all season with a .240 opponent average and just 45 strikeouts in 38 innings. Injuries to arms like Graveman and Montgomery are keeping this group thin. Arizona’s 11-13 night game record doesn’t inspire much confidence, and unless Rodriguez can dig deep, this could be a long night at Chase Field.

The Dodgers bring the better bats, a more reliable bullpen despite injuries, and have the more electric arm in Sasaki. Arizona’s pitching has been shaky, and Rodriguez’s 5.92 ERA gives LA hitters a great matchup. Add in a lineup that’s slugged 59 homers, and this feels like another road win for the Blue Crew. Final Score Prediction: Los Angeles Dodgers win 7-3.
