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.
