Doug Davis is a solid veteran, and I don't think he will be easily lit-up. I do think, though, that Chad Billingsley is a future ace and, even at this time, a great young stud - I do expect this game to be a Dodgers win.
While Hiroki Kuroda has only one game of major league experience under his belt, I feel that he is already better than Micah Ownings - who, admittedly, is solid, but not great. I do think, though, that this may be the highest scoring game of the series.

I dont think Haren is anywhere close to the ace either...tonights game was the one I had the D-backs taking.
I watched the game that Doug Davis pitched against Cueto and I'll be honest his performance didnt look as bad as the numbers may suggest. I know he has thyroid cancer but it doesnt affect him at all. I'm thinking maybe a close game here but the Dodgers will still come out on top.
Another close game with the Kuroda coming out on top. I dont think it will be that high scoring though.
