The trend is also listed down, although his recent form has clearly improved with two straight scoreless outings.

Teams — Los Angeles has the stronger offensive baseline with a .770 OPS, .262 average, and 587 runs scored. The Dodgers also bring better season-long pitching support with a 3.75 team ERA and 1.16 WHIP, though their recent form is poor at 2-8 over the last 10 games. Arizona owns a .709 OPS, .243 average, and 532 runs, so the lineup has been less productive overall. On the mound, the Diamondbacks have a 4.20 team ERA and 1.30 WHIP, but they come in with better momentum at 7-3 over their last 10 games.
