The Dodgers are turning to rookie Michael Grove this afternoon and we're high on him going Under 14.5 outs because LA is expected to piggyback right-hander Ryan Pepiot. This doesn't mean the Dodgers will lose, just that Grove is on a short leash.
The Dodgers have the best record in baseball at 102-44 and have won eight of their last nine contests.
The Diamondbacks lost 5-2 to the Dodgers last night and are now 3-10 in their last 13 games. However, one of those victories during that span came against the Dodgers last Wednesday when they had the same pitching matchup as this afternoon. Pepiot sizzled at Oklahoma City where he went 9-1 with a 2.59 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 90 1-3 innings but his awful control has gotten him into trouble with L.A.
Arizona also has a significantly worse bullpen with their relievers ranking 26th in the majors in ERA and 27th in OBA while the Dodgers are second in both categories .
