Diamondbacks at Dodgers, 7:10 PM PDT, TV: FS-A, SPNLA
It’ll be Robbie Ray for the visitors versus Ross (Chicken Strip) Stripling for the Dodgers. Stripling has had all winter to fix his pitch-tipping problem, which kept him off postseason rosters for all three series the Dodgers played last year. Ray struggled for the first four months of last year and didn’t throw consecutive quality starts until September, but over his last eight starts he had a 2.09 ERA with 61 strikeouts in 43 innings.
MLB is all-in on technology these days, says Tom Verducci at Sports Illustrated.
