This is an 8* play on the Arizona D'Backs.

The D'Backs took two of three in a home series versus Miami over the weekend, and they begin a new series at home against the Dodgers tonight. LA is now five games out of first in the NL West after losing back to back games in San Francisco. I like Arizona with it's ace on the mound in Game 1.

Zack Greinke got off to a slow start in the desert, but he comes into tonight's game off five straight wins. Greinke (8-3, 3.84 ERA) tossed a complete game shutout in a 5-0 win over Tampa is last time out. Prior to that he tossed seven scoreless innings, striking out 11 in a win over the Astros in Houston.

The Dodgers hand the ball to Mike Bolsinger, who hasn't been missing many bats lately. Bolsinger (1-3, 5.75 ERA) was torched for six runs on seven hits and a pair of walks over just 5 1/3 innings in a home loss to the Rockies his last time out. He's 0-1 with a 3.94 ERA in his last five starts at Chase Field.

The D'Backs have not been fooled in previous meetings, batting .302 over a combined 52 at bats versus Bolsinger.

Take ARI.
