Arizona Diamondbacks vs Los Angeles Dodgers Analysis
Last season, the Dodgers finished with the best record in the National League West at 111-51. The Arizona Diamondbacks finished 37 games back in fourth place at 74-88 and missed making the playoffs by 12 games. Los Angeles defeated San Diego by 22 games during the regular season but fell 3-1 to them in the Divisional Round. In the offseason for the Dodgers, there was much movement. Trea Turner, Justin Turner, Cody Bellinger, Tyler Anderson, Andrew Heaney and Trevor Bauer have all left while Noah Syndergaard, J.D Martinez, David Peralta and Miguel Rojas were brought in on mostly one-year deals as veterans.
Arizona had a relatively quiet offseason compared to Los Angeles. Their biggest move was trading Daulton Varsho to the Blue Jays for Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Gabriel Moreno; they also sent Cooper Hummel to Seattle in exchange for Kyle Lewis. Evan Longoria, Zach Davies, Miguel Castro, Scott McGough and Andrew Chafin all signed short-term deals.
Both clubs will rely on some young players to step into starting lineups this season. Outfielder Jake McCarthy, 25, had a stellar year for Arizona last season, hitting 0.283 with an on-base percentage of 0.342 and slugging percentage of 0.427. For the Dodgers, 25-year-old Dustin May is expected to retain his rotation spot while 23-year-old Miguel Vargas will start as second baseman after appearing in just 18 regular season games last year.
