The Dodgers (4-1) will host the Cleveland Guardians (3-3) tonight at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, CA, in Game Three of a three-game series. First Pitch is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. EST with coverage provided by MLB.TV.  

After winning Game One on Monday, 4-2, the Guardians lost Game Two yesterday, 4-1. The Cleveland lineup had no answer for Shohei Ohtani as the Dodgers ace gave up one hit and three walks across six shutout innings. An RBI single by Andy Pages got the Dodgers on the board in the fourth inning, and a home run by Max Muncy gave Los Angeles the only other run the Dodgers needed (they tacked on two more in the eighth). Cleveland closed the scoring with a run in the ninth.

Gavin Williams is set to start for the Guardians. He took the loss in his first start last week (vs. Seattle), lasting five innings and giving up two hits (one home run), six walks, three earned runs, and seven strikeouts. The Dodgers are going with Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who got the win last week in his start against Arizona (six innings, five hits (one home run), two earned runs, and six strikeouts.

Our Los Angeles Dodgers vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction

Cleveland has struggled at the plate to start the season, recording just 18 runs in six games while hitting .188. Against a solid pitcher like Yamamoto and the Dodgers' pen, I wouldn’t expect the Guardians to turn things around today. If Gavin Williams walks six batters as he did in his first start, the Dodgers will get out to a sizeable lead early in the game. In one start against the Dodgers last season, he lasted 4 2/3 innings, gave up four hits (one home run), four earned runs, and walked six.

Our Cleveland vs. Los Angeles Pick: Dodgers -1.5

Prediction:

 

Dodgers -1.5
