Gonsolin has pitched well in his previous four starts for the Dodgers, allowing just four runs and 10 hits in 22 innings pitched during that span with his team picking up a 3-1 record. This included a 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks on May 16th where he allowed only two runs on three hits in six innings.

Meanwhile, Bumgarner has been banged badly in his last two starts, having allowed seven runs on 11 hits in 12 innings pitched. He also gave up three runs on six hits during the Dodgers’ May 16th win over the Diamondbacks.

With Gonsolin looking like a Cy Young candidate, expect him to have a good outing against one of the worst lineups in baseball. Meanwhile, Bumgarner is coming off his worst outing of the season with four earned runs given up against Chicago the last time out. He is going to get into trouble with one of the most talented lineups in the majors. Give me the Dodgers to pick up the victory here.

The Dodgers have been playing some of its best baseball of the season as of late with their offense finally hitting its mark. Los Angeles has the best pitching staff in baseball but they still have gone over 10 times in their last 14 outings.

The Diamondbacks have been playing well as of late too, and they have hit the over in each of their last five games played. Bumgarner is coming off his worst start of the year, allowing four earned runs against the Chicago Cubs. He is going to struggle to regain his form against one of the top lineups in the sport.

Arizona is also the best batting team in the majors this month so they too should be able to put up more than enough runs to help the Dodgers push this total to over nine runs.

Prediction: Over 9 runs
