For the Dodgers, every game’s a must-win. Every teardrop is a waterfall. Let’s. Go.

The San Francisco Giants‘ loss to the Padres on Thursday night turned enemies into friends, as the spiraling Pads did a solid for the Dodgers’ NL West hopes. Now, LA sits just a single game back of San Fran, a team that rarely loses and will have to do so again at some point to be caught and passed.

No easy task, but hopefully Los Angeles can take advantage of this week’s mismatch to gain some ground.

Arizona’s only hope here is embodying the role of spoiler, which bad teams love to do — especially bad teams that are this bad, yet have just shown a modicum of faith in their manager, extending Torey Lovullo on the heels of this three-game set in the desert.

Let’s get into it. Where should your money lie for this lopsided-looking series?

Dodgers vs Diamondbacks Odds Today

According to our friends at WynnBET, the Dodgers barely have to show up today to take home the victory — but, uh, we’d recommend they do anyway. LA is favored -240 on the run line (bet $240 to win $100), while Arizona checks in at +185 (bet $100 to win $185) if you like the snakes.

On the moneyline, you can really show your love for the snakes; the D-Backs are -125 to either win outright or lose by one or two runs. The Dodgers are +104 underdogs to cover the -2.5 spread and win by three or more. The over/under for this one is set at 10.5; the over is +104 and the under is -125.

Dodgers Pitcher Today

The Dodgers will start this one with Tony Gonsolin (3-1, 2.93 ERA), though no one knows how far he will go. Coming off an extra-inning victory in Colorado, length will be paramount for a Dodger team that’s certainly squeezed a lot of innings out of their starting rotation this season.

Opposing him will be Humberto Castellanos (2-1, 4.11 ERA in 35 innings across 12 games).

Dodgers vs Diamondbacks Prediction Today

Give it to me straight, doc: there is no excuse for Los Angeles to lose this game with so much on the line. There will be far tougher contests down the stretch, and this one can’t be sacrificed; for instance, tomorrow they draw Zac Gallen, no easy task despite his heightened ERA.

Dodgers win, 8-3.
