The Los Angeles Dodgers will face the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 1 of a double header on Tuesday at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers lead the season series 12-3.
The Dodgers defeated the Diamondbacks 5-2 last night and took Game 1 of a five-game series. They are 102-44 this season, with 50-18 at home. They have already clinched a playoff spot but don't seem to want to stop dominating their opponents with complete authority anytime soon. They will look to win the doubleheader tonight to clinch the series.
The Diamondbacks are on a four-game losing streak, and their chances of winning a game in this series look to be extremely slim as they look forward to facing the Dodgers in a doubleheader for Games 2 and 3. Their chances of making it to the playoffs are all but over, and they will just try to save face by winning at least one game against the resilient Dodgers.
"Dodgers win!" - Dodgers

The Diamondbacks will be giving the ball to Zach Davies. He has an ERA of 4.06, a 1.25 WHIP, and a 2-4 overall record. This will be his 25th start of the season and the fifth against the Dodgers.
