Ohtani has left the ballpark 15 times at Dodger Stadium this season, and the majority of his home run damage is against righties with 21 bombs. Jake Irvin is prone to the long ball as well, already giving up 14 in only 15 starts.


Jake Irvin is susceptible to left-handed batters, allowing them to slash .265/.319/.500 and saddling him with a 5.33 FIP. Also worrisome for this matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers is that he’s been beatable on the road (4.97 ERA). Enter Freddie Freeman. Freeman destroys right-handed pitchers (177 wRC+) and typically performs well at home (170 wRC+). He has favorable results against both curves and changeups, which Irvin mixes in with his fastball against lefties. The 35-year-old has been in a lull at the plate, but that just means it’s time to buy low.
