On Monday, the Dodgers closed out pregame action as -195 favorites and certainly lived up to their sportsbook status at Daikin Park, comfortably defeating the Astros 8-3 in Game 1 of the series.
The Astros, currently fourth in the AL West, jumped on Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto early, with Altuve driving in a run with a single. However, Joe Espada planned for a bullpen game in Game 1, bringing in Okert as a brief starter who only recorded two outs. Weiss came in as the bulk pitcher but also failed to get the job done, allowing seven runs, six of them earned.
The Dodgers' offense responded in Game 1, and the unusual no-hitter of Japanese star Ohtani is going largely unnoticed as the team continues to win; however, the multiple MVP drew two walks and scored two runs on Monday. Tucker hit his fourth home run of the season, while Freeman, despite striking out three times, went 2-for-5 with two RBIs.

Our Houston Astros vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
The Astros let Yamamoto settle in on the mound in Game 1; Correa struck out three times on Monday; Walker, Altuve, Smith, and Cole each struck out twice for an Astros team that sabotaged its own chances of winning by striking out 15 times in total.
The Astros will now face another Japanese pitcher, Ohtani. This is the season in which the Japanese phenomenon, in addition to continuing to hit, returned to the mound and for now has a record of 2-1, ERA of 0.60 in 30 innings pitched. An absolute dominator of baseball, whose videos of his pitches breaking are going viral out after out.
Our prediction for Astros vs Dodgers is: Dodgers -1.5.
