Series Preview #8, Diamondbacks vs Dodgers

Can the Diamondbacks score abundant runs against the Dodgers' replacement pitchers?

Despite a Jurassic budget, the Dodgers currently have a weakness – pitching. Due to Brandon McCarthy’s torn UCL, only three starting pitchers remain. One of them, Brett Anderson, is not to be feared, leaving only Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke. And neither will pitch against the Diamondbacks this series!

And the Dodger closer, Joel Peralta was placed on the DL on 24 April due to a "weak" arm. Joel Peralta was very effective in the last series between these two teams.
