These two teams meet to play their second 4-game series of season, this time it’s the Diamondbacks’ home opener at Chase. I hope they find a way to split the series. If that happens, the Diamondbacks will have started the season with three consecutive split series.
Which team will walk more batters in this series?
This season through 4 April, the Diamondbacks’ pitchers walked more batters (30) than any other team, while the Dodgers’ pitchers walked fewer batters (6) than any other team.
Two reasons not to walk Dodgers’ batters:
- Because Diamondbacks’ defense is great, making the Dodgers put the ball in play is a good idea.
