Why the Diamondbacks on Monday at +104...The DBacks are coming into Mondays game after a Sunday off-day to continue their homestand to start the season. Taijuan Walker will be taking toeing the rubber after a decent ST campaign where he posted a 4.32 era through 16 innings on 15 Ks and just 1 HR. Something to note about Walker's ST was that he only allowed 3 BBs which could predict a positive sign for Walker's 2018 season as the high BB totals affected Walker negatively in 2017. The Dodgers will look to Hyun-Jin Ryu to get his 2018 season off to a strong start after posting some ugly ST numbers. Through 15 innings, Ryu posted a 7.04 era while allowing 23 hits, 2 HRs, 5 BBs and only striking out 13. Another reason to fade Ryu in this spot is due to the fact that these DBacks hitters are waking up with a smile on their faces. In a combined 80 ABs, the lineup has a .313 BA/.382 OBP against Ryu with 2 HRs coming from Goldy. The DBacks seem to have brought their affection for LHP from last season where they went 49-41 to the 2018 season. On 3/30 the DBacks faced their first LHP of the season in Tyler Anderson and his line from that game reads: 2 IP, 5 hits, 7 ERs, 1 HR, 4 BBs.
