Pre-game buzz
The Dodgers have been the team to beat this season. They are at the top of NL West standings and have a 15-5 Away record. The last time these two sides met, the D-Backs were handed a 3-0 loss and the Dodgers will be aware of what's coming when they take the field on Tuesday. Walker Buehler will be the starting pitcher for the Dodgers and Arizona's feeble offense will have to be ready against a guy with a 3.60 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP.
Luke Weaver might not have a great record against LA. However, his last outing against them allowed him two earned runs in 5.1 innings according to Winners and Whinerss and the bigger challenge will be to contain the big hitters in the Dodgers' Camp.
Who will win
The Dodgers are clear favorites heading into this one. After their 1-1 tie against the Colorado Rockies, they will be hoping to get some wins on the board.
