OUR PREDICTION
The Diamondbacks are 0-5 in Corbins’ last five starts versus the Dodgers and are winless at 0-4 in his last four home outings against Los Angeles. Wood had an incredible first half of the season in 2017 before cooling off in the second. While I don’t expect him to be as good as he was in the first half of last season, I like him to come out of the gates again strong. Corbin is also coming off a solid 2017 campaign but he struggles with right-handed hitters. The DOdgers project to have at least seven right-handers in their lineup today.
