The Los Angeles Dodgers and Kansas City Royals face off again today in the second matchup of their three-game interleague series. Los Angeles took the opener 5-4 on Friday night, extending their winning ways and continuing a dominant stretch of baseball.
The Dodgers have now won five straight series, including victories over division rivals like the Padres (twice), the Giants, and the Rockies, as well as a solid showing against the Nationals. Their sweep of Colorado at Coors Field showcased both offense and pitching depth, particularly in the final two games where they allowed just two total runs. With that momentum, L.A. sits comfortably atop the NL West, holding a six-game lead over San Diego.
The Royals are in a slump at the plate, managing just eight total runs across their last six games—and four of those came in Friday’s series opener. Their offense has been flat, especially against high-level pitching, and they’ve struggled to string together quality at-bats.

Our Los Angeles Dodgers vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
Taking the mound today for the Dodgers is two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani, who has added value to the club both offensively and now in his return to pitching following recovery from arm soreness. While Ohtani’s starts have been closely monitored this season, his recent outings have shown promising signs.
In his last three appearances, he's allowed just three earned runs combined, showing improved command and pitch efficiency. Ohtani continues to make history with his bat as well—he’s among the MLB leaders in home runs and OPS, delivering game-changing hits almost nightly. If he’s on the mound and in the lineup, he’s a true dual threat.
Opposing him for the Royals is Seth Lugo, one of Kansas City's most reliable arms this season. Lugo comes into the game with a strong 10-2 record and an ERA under 3.00, thanks to consistent command and his ability to induce soft contact.
The Dodgers are on one of those rolls where it seems like they can’t lose. Their offense is firing on all cylinders, and even when pitching is shaky, they find ways to win. With Ohtani on the mound and the Royals struggling to produce runs, the value lies with Dodgers on the moneyline or run line (-1.5). Expect L.A. to push across runs early and hold a comfortable edge late. The under may also be worth a look if Ohtani and Lugo both settle in, but the Dodgers’ offense makes the over a live possibility. Our prediction for KC Royals vs. LA Dodgers: Dodgers to win.
