This set means so much more to the Arizona Diamondbacks than it does to the Dodgers, and it has definitely shown through the first two games. I'm siding with the more motivated team to complete the sweep of the series Thursday afternoon.

The D'Backs hand the ball to Zack Greinke (15-6, 3.14 ERA). He's been outstanding home at Chase Field all season, going 12-1 with a 2.36 ERA in 15 starts. The 33 year old right-hander has lost two starts with a 6.17 ERA against the Dodgers on the season, but he limited the them to three runs in 6 1/3 innings in the latest meeting (Aug 9, here at Arizona).

The Dodgers turn to Kenta Maeda (12-5, 3.76 ERA) who is coming off six innings of one-run ball against Milwaukee. He had however conceded eight runs (seven earned) in 11 1/3 innings in his last two starts prior to that though, and he's struggled with the long-ball lately serving up five homers through his last four outings. He has conceded 11 runs in 14 innings across three starts against Arizona on the season.

The Dodgers are 1-5 in Maeda's last six road starts vs. a team with a winning record and his ERA on the road this season is 4.61 through 11 starts.

My selection is a 10* play on Arizona Diamondbacks.
