The LA Dodgers are winners of nine of their last 11 games while the Arizona Diamondbacks had dropped six straight before finally ending the skid with a 3-2 win over Colorado on Sunday. I think the D'Backs find it very hard to build on that victory here as the Dodgers hand the ball to Clayton Kershaw.

Kershaw (7-1, 2.85 ERA) tossed seven shutout innings of three-hit ball in a 9-0 triumph over San Francisco last time out. That was his second scoreless outing in his last four starts and the Dodgers have won 11 of his 12 starts on the season.

The D'Backs counter with Zack Greinke (8-3, 2.91 ERA) who was knocked around by the Dodgers back in March when he was charged with seven runs and four homers in 3 2/3 innings of a 12-5 loss. Pair that with Greinke's' struggles home at Chase Field lately with nine runs allowed in his last two starts and this could very well turn ugly.

Dodgers are 8-2 in Kershaw's last 10 starts vs. Diamondbacks. Dodgers are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

8* play on Los Angeles Dodgers.
