His last three starts were 5.2 innings and 5 earned runs on August 4, 8 scoreless innings on July 29, and 6 innings with 2 earned runs on July 24. The trend is down, though his profile still points to strong run prevention and better home run suppression than Wrobleski.

Teams — Los Angeles has the stronger offensive baseline with a .768 OPS, .261 average, and 589 runs scored. The Dodgers also bring the better season-long pitching support, with a 3.72 team ERA and 1.16 WHIP, although they are just 3-7 in their last 10 games. Arizona has a .709 OPS, .242 average, and 533 runs scored, so the lineup has been less productive overall. The Diamondbacks’ staff has a 4.17 ERA and 1.29 WHIP, but the club is 6-4 over its last 10, which suggests better recent form entering this spot.
