The fourth place Dodgers (12-17) take on the first place D-backs (21-8) in the third game of a four-game series at Chase Field on Wednesday night. The series – and the season – has been a disaster so far for the Dodgers. They’ve lost four straight, and they’ve dropped seven of eight against the D-backs this year. The Snakes are formidable opponents this season. They’ve won 10 straight series to open the season. The Dodgers will need to figure out how to beat them at some point if they aim to capture their sixth consecutive NL West division title.
