Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Preview
The Los Angeles Dodgers enter Saturday’s contest with a 27–18 overall record (1st in the National League West) and a 12–8 mark on the road. The Los Angeles offense has performed at an exceptionally high level to this point in the season. Let me be more specific. The Dodgers have compiled 223 runs scored (6th in MLB), 73 doubles, 61 home runs (3rd in MLB) and a .262 team batting average which ranks second in Major League Baseball.The Dodgers arrive at Saturday’s game in solid form. Los Angeles has won three consecutive games, including a 4–0 shutout victory over the San Francisco Giants earlier this week.

The Angels has lost four straight games, including a 7–2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians five days ago.Los Angeles will start right hander Jose Soriano, who has undoubtedly been one of the most dominant pitchers in Major League Baseball this season.

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Los Angeles Angels Prediction
In my view, this matchup favors the Los Angels Dodgers. Why? The Dodgers arrive at this contest on the heels of a three-game winning streak, while the Angels have lost four straight games. The Angels will be sending Jose Soriano to the mound. Soriano has pitched exceptionally well, but I am concerned that his team will not provide enough run support in this one. For the reasons just noted, I am backing the Los Angeles Dodgers on the moneyline in this game.Hans Geevers's Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers ML
