Los Angeles Dodgers vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Friday, 05/09/25

The Los Angeles Dodgers hand the ball to RHP Roki Sasaki for Friday’s game against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks. L.A. suffered a 5-3 loss in the series opener, as Arizona beat MLB ERA leader RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Sasaki has managed just a single win in seven starts in his rookie season, but he has a respectable 3.86 ERA with a 1.45 WHIP across 30.1 innngs in 7 starts. He has been better on the road, going 1-0 with a 3.50 ERA with a 1.33 WHIP and .188 opponent batting average in 18.0 innings across 4 outings away from home.

For the Diamondbacks, veteran LHP Eduardo Rodriguez has been rather uneven — going 1-3 with a 5.92 ERA across 38 innings in 7 appearances with a 1.47 WHIP. He has been a little bit better at home, going 0-1 with a 4.42 WHIP, but it’s hard to envision the Snakes knocking off the Dodgers for 2 in a row — especially since the pitching matchup is way more attractive for Los Angeles. Let’s back the first-place Dodgers to bounce back with a resounding victory.
