The MLB-best Los Angeles Dodgers are surging, looking for a fifth straight win as they host the Baltimore Orioles.

L.A. opened the set with a 6-5 win Friday and will send ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto to the bump tonight, a big reason why they’re hefty home favorites in the MLB odds.

My Orioles vs. Dodgers predictions and free MLB picks stick with L.A., which I expect to overwhelm the struggling O’s at Dodger Stadium.

Who will win Orioles vs Dodgers today: Dodgers -2.5 (+134)

Yoshinobu Yamamoto has been dealing, allowing just three runs over his last four starts, striking out 24 and walking only three.

L.A. should tee off on Baltimore Orioles starter Trevor Rogers; they’re hitting .308 collectively against him in a small sample.

The lefty is 1-7 in his last 10 starts with a 6.70 ERA and faces a Dodgers lineup that’s second in runs per game and leads the majors in average, on-base percentage, and OPS.

L.A.’s bats will be a problem for an Orioles staff already allowing more than five runs per game. I'd play this down to +125.

Covers COVERS INTEL: The Orioles know just how filthy Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s stuff is: last year, he was just an out away from throwing a no-hitter at Camden Yards.

Orioles vs Dodgers Over/Under pick: Over 8.5 (-103)

It’s always a tricky proposition betting the total with Yamamoto on the bump, as L.A. gives him plenty of run support, but he doesn’t give much to the opposition.

Still, the Over has hit in two of his last three starts — missing a third Over by a single run in the third — while each opponent (White Sox, Angels, and Phillies) ranks in the bottom half of runs allowed per game.

Baltimore’s runs allowed mark is worse than those three, and the Over already hit in L.A.’s win Friday night. Rogers’ starts also yield high scores: the teams have combined for at least 10 runs in four of his last six.
