Karl Garretts free pick.
The G-Man knows when he sees a defeated team, and after losing all 4 games in Colorado, 5 in a row overall, the LA Dodgers are one defeated team!
Sure LA has won 5 of 6 at Arizona this year, but they come to town a beaten down bunch that has little chance now of sneaking into the postseason unless they get a miracle.
Don't count on it happening, as Arizona is 48-30 at home this year, and starter Livan Hernandez is 6-3 at Chase Field this season.
Esteban Loaiza has allowed 9 runs over his last 8 innings,and is 0-2 over his last 2 trips to the mound. Loaiza just lost to Arizona his last time out, and while Hernandez did lose to Los Angeles his last time out, the G-Man can't go against the first place for now Diamondbacks.
With San Diego having won 7 straight, the D-Backs can ill-afford a slip up in this spot, especially with the Dodgers not officially dead.
Diamondbacks will come through tonight at home against the road-weary Dodgers.
2♦ ARIZONA
(on a 1♦ to 5♦ basis)
