The Los Angeles Dodgers visit the Pittsburgh Pirates tonight, and they're in a great position to notch a victory with Shohei Ohtani on the mound.
My Dodgers vs. Pirates predictions and MLB picks are eyeing L.A. to grab a convincing win behind their two-way superstar.
Who will win Dodgers vs Pirates today: Dodgers -1.5 (-122)
The Los Angeles Dodgers will be licking their chops ahead of this matchup. Jared Jones takes the hill for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and he owns a brutal 5.78 xERA across his last two starts. During that span, Jones also has a 50% hard-hit rate while allowing 1.93 home runs per nine innings.
That's bad news against a Dodgers team that ranks fourth in the big leagues in long balls. L.A. also has a 41.6% hard hit rate over their last six games, while owning an xSLG of .412. They should be able to score numerous runs off the struggling Jones.
Also, Shohei Ohtani counters for the visitors, and he's been absolutely lights out. Ohtani sports a 2.27 FIP over his last four starts, while holding opponents to a .115 average. He's given up only one earned run over his previous four outings as well.
I'd play this up to -150.
COVERS INTEL: Shohei Ohtani has limited opponents to a 3.8% barrel rate over the last month, consistently inducing weak contact. 
Dodgers vs Pirates Over/Under pick: Over 7.5 (-127)
This is a prime opportunity for the Dodgers to explode offensively, but there's more reason to believe we'll see the Over hit tonight. Both of these bullpens are struggling to get outs.
L.A.'s pen sports a 4.50 xERA over the last week, with a hard-hit rate of 39.5%. Ohtani rarely pitches past the sixth inning, so they will be busy when he exits, and the relievers aren't thriving at the moment.
As for the Bucs, their bullpen owns a 4.41 xFIP over the last 14 days while allowing 5.63 walks per nine innings. While I expect the Dodgers to do damage against Jones, given Pittsburgh's inconsistent command and poor form, L.A. could also score more runs when Jones departs.
There are multiple paths to offense, making 7.5 runs a relatively modest number to clear. I'll play this pick up to -140.
