The Los Angeles Dodgers look to stay hot tonight when they host the Los Angeles Angels.

Yashinobu Yamamoto is having a strong season for the defending World Series champs, and my Angels vs. Dodgers predictions and MLB picks break down why his team is set to cruise as heavy favorites on Saturday, June 6.

Who will win Angels vs Dodgers tonight: Dodgers -2.5 (+104)

When Los Angeles Angels right-hander Jack Kochanowicz doesn’t have his sinker working, he reverts to a four-seam fastball that opponents are posting a .241 ISO and a 53.5% FB% against in 2026.

Kochanowicz’s strikeout rate, chase rate, and xERA all rank in the 16th percentile or worse. An inability to miss bats is simply inviting trouble from this patient Los Angeles Dodgers lineup, which has the highest hard-hit% and third-lowest GB% over the past two weeks.

I'd play this runline to -105.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Opposing hitters registered a 26.6% soft contact rate vs. Yamamoto over the past month — the highest rate for any pitcher with at least 20 IP in that span.

Angels vs Dodgers Over/Under pick: Under 8.5 (+100)

Despite expecting Kochanowicz to get pummeled, I’m expecting the game flow to lead to a lower-scoring affair.

Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto has thrived at avoiding contact this season, boasting a 29.9% whiff rate driven by his nasty fastball/splitter combo. His stellar command has also led to a 5.6% walk rate ranking in the 90th percentile.

The Angels have the eighth-highest K% vs. RHP over the past two weeks, and aside from Mike Trout, I don’t see many matchup advantages. The Dodgers will put up runs, but not enough to carry the total by themselves.

Take the Under to -110.
