Los Angeles Dodgers host Arizona Diamondbacks in MLB showdown

The Los Angeles Dodgers face the Arizona Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium on July 11, 2026. The Dodgers, leading the National League West with a 61‑34 record, will start right‑hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who is 9‑5 with a 2.49 ERA and 100 strikeouts. Arizona counters with left‑hander Brandon Pfaadt (2‑1, 4.84 ERA).

Arizona entered the series after a 9‑3 win over the Dodgers, but the Dodgers are heavy favorites, with money‑line odds around –285 and a –1.5 run‑line. The projected total is nine runs, with many bettors favoring the under. Los Angeles boasts the league’s top slugging lineup, featuring Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and other power hitters, while the Diamondbacks rely on timely hitting from players such as Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte.

Betting analysts suggest focusing on Yamamoto’s strikeout totals and the Dodgers covering the run line, while the Diamondbacks will need solid pitching and defensive play to stay competitive.
