Diamondbacks vs Dodgers Preview, Predictions

For Tuesday’s MLB night cap, our PRO Projections pinpointed some solid player prop bets in the Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers game, building on the same strategy we applied earlier with the Mariners–White Sox matchup.
Leveraging proprietary data that combines advanced player projections with odds analysis, I’ve identified two players with strong potential to record an RBI at favorable plus-money odds — only one needs to hit for a profitable night.
First up is Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez at +175.
Our models estimate Hernandez will collect approximately 0.62 RBIs in this contest, making the bet quite appealing given the odds.
Hernandez, who has already racked up 35 RBI this season, bats in the middle of the Dodgers’ lineup behind productive hitters like Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts. With talented table-setters ahead of him, Hernandez gets plenty of opportunities to drive in runs. Bet365 offers the best odds here.
The second candidate is Hyeseong Kim at +265.
While our projections don’t see Kim as a strong favorite to notch an RBI — his outlook stands at 0.44 — this number paired with the plus odds presents an intriguing value bet.
The Dodgers’ powerful lineup and a hitter-friendly ballpark, combined with the team coming off a loss, provide the right conditions for one of these two to contribute in the run column.
Picks: Teoscar Hernandez RBI (+175); Hyeseong Kim RBI (+265)
