It’s time for the Freeway Series as the Los Angeles Dodgers begin a battle with the Los Angeles Angels tonight.
The Angels are reeling, dropping five of their last six games, while the Dodgers have won two straight to snap a cold stretch of their own.
I’m backing Blake Snell and the Boys in Blue with my Dodgers vs. Angels predictions and MLB picks for Friday, May 15.
Who will win Dodgers vs Angels today: Dodgers -1.5 (-134)
Blake Snell is a dominant force when healthy, so don’t fret over his 2026 debut in which he was quite unfortunate (.545 BABIP, 37.5% left-on-base percentage).
The two-time Cy Young winner’s stuff looked elite, as his 119 Stuff+ would rank second among starters. Expect him to overpower an ice-cold Los Angeles Angels lineup that has a 78 wRC+ in May.
Jack Kochanowicz’s 4.99 xERA calls for immediate regression to his 3.97 ERA, and his 3.5% K-BB% simply won’t cut it against a strong lineup.
COVERS INTEL: Kochanowicz has a 10th percentile chase rate, and he won’t succeed in fooling a disciplined Dodgers lineup with the sixth-lowest chase rate.
Dodgers vs Angels Over/Under pick: Under 9 (-108)
This is a high number in a game where two teams are trending toward the Under.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have cashed the Under in 10 of their last 15 games on the road, and send out Snell, who has held an ERA of 2.35 or lower in two of the last three seasons.
Meanwhile, the Angels have played to the Under in 11 of their last 14 games. The offense has gone dry, plating two runs or fewer in five of their last six contests.
Their bullpen ranks 12th in SIERA in May after a rough start to the year, while the Dodgers have a 2.45 FIP in relief.
