The Diamondbacks finished last season with an 82-80 record, failing to make the postseason one year after falling to the Dodgers in the divisional series. However, it did mark the first time Arizona had back-to-back seasons above .500 since 2007 and 2008.

The Dodgers won their second consecutive National League pennant last year before falling to the Red Sox in five games in the World Series. They've won six straight NL West titles, the third-longest streak all-time (Atlanta had 14 from 1991-2005, and the Yankees had nine form 1998-2006).

Arizona won the season series with the Dodgers last year, 11-8 -- the same record they had against them in the 2017 regular season. Those seasons are tied for their third-best record ever against LA, behind a 13-5 mark in 2005, and a 12-6 mark in 2012.

Zack Greinke will make his third Opening Day start in four seasons with Arizona. He's won at least 10 games in 11 consecutive seasons, the longest active streak in the league, and tied for the fifth-longest streak since 2000.

Hyun-Jin Ryu will be the first Opening Day Starter for Los Angeles other than Clayton Kershaw since Vicente Padilla in 2010. Ryu finished with a 1.97 ERA last year, one of 12 sub-2.00 ERA seasons by a Dodger since 1912 (minimum 15 starts) -- six of which have come from Clayton Kershaw and Sandy Koufax.

A.J. Pollock will make his Dodger debut against the only team he's played for in his career. Pollock's 637 games with Arizona rank 11th in franchise history, as do his 640 hits. His 257 extra-base hits are the eighth most by any Diamondback, and his 103 stolen bases rank fourth.

HP - Lentz, 1B - Gorman, 2B - Welke, 3B - Gibson

The narrative following the Los Angeles Dodgers heading into the 2019 season mostly has to do with their consecutive World Series defeats, although there is a subplot for the early season that hangs over their collective head.
The Dodgers' dirty little secret while earning back-to-back National League titles is how poorly they have started in each of the last two years. And their early lackluster results go back even further than that.

Dodgers enjoy early season power; D-backs' reslience tested

LOS ANGELES (AP)  Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said before Sunday's finale between the Diamondbacks and Dodgers that this was one of the crazier opening series he had been a part of. The last of the four games didn't disappoint.
A.J. Pollock hit a key double late, and the Dodgers were able to withstand a seven-run fourth inning by the Diamondbacks and rallied for three runs in the eighth for an 8-7 victory. The two-time defending NL champions took three of four games to start the season.
