Grant Holmes posted a solid 3.56 ERA, 3.46 xERA, and 3.20 FIP in 68 1/3 innings split between the bullpen and the rotation in his MLB debut a year ago. That provided optimism heading into a full-time gig in the Braves starting rotation for 2025, but early results have been less promising (4.50 ERA, 5.12 xERA, 5.45 FIP). One batter on the Dodgers who should capitalize is Shohei Ohtani. He’s been his usual otherworldly self, ranking in the 98th percentile or above in xwOBA, xSLG, average exit velocity, hard-hit rate, and bat speed. The 30-year-old has blasted right-handed pitching in his career (165 wRC+). Although Holmes has reverse splits this year, that wasn’t the case in 2024 when his FIP was nearly double against righties (4.05) than lefties (2.10).
