This is a Free #MLB play on the Arizona #DBacks +1.5.
The Dodgers come into Game 2 of this series in Arizona as losers of three straight, and I don't think they deserve to be a favorite on the road in this spot. They've won just four more games than the D'Backs overall this season, and they have a losing record away from Chavez Ravine.
Kenta Maeda will toe the slab for the Dodgers, and he's had a successful rookie season so far. Maeda (5-4, 2.70 ERA) allowed one run on five hits over 6 1/3 innings in a 1-0 loss to Colorado his last time out. His last five starts have come against the likes of Colorado, Atlanta, San Diego and the Mets. Pitching on the road in this hitter's park should prove to be a tougher test than he's faced in a while.
Arizona hands the ball to Archie Bradley, who has been dominant at times. Bradley (2-2, 5.22 ERA) allowed four runs on five hits in 5 2/3 innings in a loss to Tampa his last time out. Prior to that he struck out 19 batters over 13 1/3 innings in his previous two starts. He's only faced the Dodgers once, tossing six scoreless innings, surrendering just one hit and fanning six.
The Dodgers have lost five of their last six road games, and they own a .191 team batting average so far in June.
Take ARI +1.5.
