Last year for the entire year, the Dodgers pen worked 559.2 innings. They've thrown 11.2 more bullpen innings than the D'backs- in the same number of team games. And it's not like the Dodgers starters are below average- they're actually just above average in number of innings per start- 5.45 vs 5.38.

Interesting, although I'd think a team that was supposed to have a great starting rotation would expect more innings than middle of the pack
