Arizona Diamondbacks vs Los Angeles Dodgers

Arizona Diamondbacks at Los Angeles Dodgers (2026-07-12). Mitch Bratt vs Emmet Sheehan at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium.

Starters — Mitch Bratt has a 3.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP through 3 innings, with 9.0 K/9, 6.0 BB/9, and 0.0 HR/9. His only listed recent outing came on 2026-06-24, when he worked 3 innings, allowed 1 earned run, struck out 3, and walked 2. The sample is extremely small, so command is the main early variable. Emmet Sheehan has a 4.91 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 77 innings, with 10.05 K/9, 2.92 BB/9, and 1.75 HR/9. In his last three starts, he went 4.1 innings with 1 earned run, 5 strikeouts, and 3 walks on 2026-07-05; 5 innings with 1 earned run, 5 strikeouts, and 2 walks on 2026-06-28; and 3.1 innings with 6 earned runs, 4 strikeouts, and 3 walks on 2026-06-21. The recent form points to some stabilization after the rough June 21 outing, though the listed trend is down and the home run rate remains a concern.

Teams — Arizona enters with a .693 OPS, 411 runs scored, a .237 team average, a 4.22 team ERA, and a 1.27 team WHIP. The Diamondbacks are 5-5 over their last 10 games, which fits a profile of a fairly average recent run. Los Angeles brings a stronger offensive baseline with a .779 OPS, 503 runs scored, and a .263 team average. The Dodgers also hold the better run prevention numbers, with a 3.56 team ERA and 1.14 team WHIP, and they are also 5-5 in their last 10. From a betting perspective, Los Angeles shows the clearer season-long edge in lineup production and staff efficiency, while Arizona’s angle would be tied more to uncertainty around Bratt’s limited sample and whether Sheehan’s home run issues resurface.
