The Dodgers are coming off a 2-1 series win against the San Diego Padres on the road. Taking their overall record to 96-43, and 47-25 away. It's safe to say that the Dodgers are the best hitting unit this season, and their bullpen has simply been immaculate. They will aim for a second consecutive series win on the road.
The Diamondbacks have lost four of the previous five games, resulting in two straight series defeats. They sit 30 games behind the Dodgers in the National League West standings and have zero chance of making it to the playoffs. They will just be trying to save face at home.

The Dodgers will start Tyler Anderson on the mound tonight. He has had an exceptional season and is showcasing all his talents from the hill. He has an ERA of 2.73, a 1.03 WHIP and a staggering W-L of 14-3. This will be his 25th start of the season and his second against the Diamondbacks. He gave up zero runs on five hits in six IP and got the win in his last start against the Diamondbacks.
The Diamondbacks will start their newfound talent Ryne Nelson, and this will only be his second start of the season since transitioning from the minor leagues. In his last and only start of the season so far against the Padres, he gave away zero runs on four hits, with seven K's in seven IP. This is a very good sign for the youngster as he prepares to face the mighty Dodgers.
