The read
Sunday afternoon at Chase Field, with the roof closed and the series tied, the Dodgers are trying to build some real momentum after a hard-earned win. I expect another close game.
I’m backing Los Angeles because Justin Wrobleski has a better matchup than his recent results suggest. Arizona relies heavily on right-handed hitters, and he has handled them well. Eduardo Rodriguez’s results look better, but how he has actually pitched suggests he could slip, and the Dodgers’ current lineup has hit him well before.
Arizona has the stronger group of relief pitchers, so I don’t want to bet on the Dodgers to win by a certain amount. Still, Los Angeles has the deeper lineup, and Ohtani, Pages, and Tucker are swinging well enough to make Rodriguez pay. I’m betting on the Dodgers to win.
The full analysis
Sunday afternoon at Chase Field, roof closed, series tied, and the Dodgers are trying to turn one hard-earned win into actual momentum. This rubber match has the feel of another close one.
I’m backing Los Angeles because Justin Wrobleski’s matchup is better than his recent results suggest. Arizona’s lineup leans heavily right-handed, and Wrobleski has held righties to a .220 average and .616 OPS. Eduardo Rodriguez owns the prettier ERA, but his 4.86 xERA points toward regression, and the Dodgers’ current lineup has hit him well over 49 career at-bats.
Arizona has the stronger bullpen, which is why I’m staying away from the run line. Still, the Dodgers have the deeper lineup, and Ohtani, Pages and Tucker are all swinging well enough to make Rodriguez pay. Gary’s Take: Dodgers moneyline at -129.

Props on this game
4Ben RortvedtUNDER 0.5 Hits Hits+108
Not yet graded
Will Smith’s absence puts Rortvedt in the lineup against a particularly unfriendly matchup. He bats left-handed, Eduardo Rodriguez has held lefties to a .641 OPS, and Rortvedt is buried ninth with an .112 xBA. I’ll take plus money on him finishing without a hit.
Gabriel MorenoOVER 1.5 H+R+RBI H+R+RBI-121
WActual 3
Moreno has cleared this number in 11 of his last 15 games, producing 13 RBI during that stretch. He is batting third, owns a .371 xwOBA and has whiffed on only 13% of his recent swings. Justin Wrobleski has allowed 12 earned runs across his last two starts, giving Moreno several ways to get to two combined hits, runs and RBI.
Kyle TuckerOVER 0.5 Home Runs Home Runs+800
LActual 0
Tucker is seeing the ball too well for this price. He has four homers in his last 15 games, nine recent hard-hit balls and has already gone deep in this series. Eduardo Rodriguez’s 2.71 ERA masks a 4.86 xERA, and Tucker gets additional chances against an Arizona bullpen that has allowed 11 runs over its last seven games. At +800, I’m betting Tucker’s current power carries into the finale.
Teoscar HernandezOVER 0.5 Home Runs Home Runs+575
LActual 0
Hernandez gets the platoon advantage against Eduardo Rodriguez and brings the right contact shape for a home-run swing. He has three homers in his last 15 games, two barrels on his last 20 balls in play and a 90.8 mph average exit velocity over that stretch. Rodriguez’s results have been much better than his underlying contact profile, and Chase Field remains a favorable place to bet power. I’ll take Hernandez at +575.
