The Arizona Diamondbacks visit Dodger Stadium to face the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday, May 20 at 7:10 PM PT. Expect clear skies early with temperatures reaching a high of 75°F and cooling to around 58°F by first pitch.

D-backs’ Unshakable Confidence

Arizona has won five of its last six games in Los Angeles, outscoring the Dodgers 48-21 in that span. After a 9-5 series-opening victory fueled by early offense, the D-backs look to maintain momentum against their storied rival.

Gabriel Moreno’s Dodger-Killer Résumé

Catcher Gabriel Moreno homered Monday and has four long balls in 21 career games versus L.A. His 10-for-12 stretch against the Dodgers underscores his knack for delivering in this matchup and will be a key driver of Arizona’s lineup.

Pitching Matchup

Right-hander Ryne Nelson (1-1, 5.13 ERA) makes just his second start of the season but brings a 2.25 ERA in previous outings against L.A. across two games. He’ll counter Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto (5-3, 2.12 ERA), who owns a 1.46 ERA in two starts versus Arizona last year.

Dodgers Seeking Answers

Los Angeles enters on a season-long four-game skid, having surrendered 32 runs in that stretch. Despite power from Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani—who combined for three homers Monday—L.A.’s pitching has faltered, putting pressure on Yamamoto to regain form.

X-Factors and Strategy

Watch for bullpen management in what could become a high-scoring affair; both starters have shown vulnerability early. Ballpark winds at Dodger Stadium can suppress or carry balls into the stands—each team’s approach to the long ball will be pivotal.

Our MLB Betting Picks

Backing Arizona on the money line offers value given their track record at Dodger Stadium and L.A.’s pitching struggles. For an alternate play, consider the over on total runs—both offenses have combined for 23 runs through two meetings this season.
