Arizona Diamondbacks vs Los Angeles Dodgers

Arizona Diamondbacks at Los Angeles Dodgers (2026-07-11). Brandon Pfaadt vs Yoshinobu Yamamoto at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium.

Starters — Pfaadt enters with a 4.84 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 48.1 innings, with 7.26 K/9, 3.35 BB/9, and 1.49 HR/9. His last three starts were mixed but improved recently: 5.0 IP, 0 ER, 6 K, 0 BB on July 6; 5.1 IP, 1 ER, 2 K, 1 BB on June 30; and 1.0 IP, 2 ER, 1 K, 2 BB on June 3. The recent form points to a better run than the full-season line, though the home run rate remains a concern. Yamamoto has a 2.49 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, and 104.2 innings, backed by 8.6 K/9, 1.81 BB/9, and 0.95 HR/9. His last three starts were strong: 7.0 IP, 0 ER, 10 K, 2 BB on July 4; 6.0 IP, 2 ER, 4 K, 2 BB on June 27; and 6.0 IP, 3 ER, 6 K, 2 BB on June 20. His profile shows elite traffic suppression and steady command, with the recent stretch reinforcing that baseline.

Teams — Arizona has a .689 OPS, 402 runs, a .237 team average, and a 4.25 team ERA with a 1.28 WHIP. The Diamondbacks are 5-5 over their last 10, which fits a fairly neutral recent form snapshot. Los Angeles brings a .784 OPS, 501 runs, a .264 team average, and a 3.50 team ERA with a 1.14 WHIP. The Dodgers are 6-4 in their last 10 and hold the clearer edge in both offensive production and run prevention. From a betting matchup perspective, Los Angeles shows the stronger full-team statistical foundation, while Arizona’s path likely depends on Pfaadt sustaining his recent improvement and limiting damage on contact.
