Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Los Angeles Angels Prediction
I’m on the Dodgers here. I know the Angels have been able to hold down the Dodgers in this series, but the Angels have been striking out a ton against right-handed pitching and Ohtani is coming off of a start against St. Louis where he racked up 8 K’s in four innings of work. I think the Dodgers also have the much better bullpen so I’ll back the Dodgers to salvage something from this series.
