It’s fitting that the three-game series opener between the Dodgers (4-7) and D-backs (9-3) opens on Friday the 13th, because it’s been a horror show a majority of the time for the Dodgers so far this season. Kenta Maeda (1-0, 0.00 ERA, -0.45 FIP) looks to right the ship at home, but old friend Zack Greinke (0-1, 5.06 ERA, 2.86 FIP) will be doing his best to derail the Dodgers and help capture Arizona’s 10th victory of the year.
