The Los Angeles Dodgers are priced as heavy favorites ahead of the latest installment of the Freeway Series rivalry against the Los Angeles Angels. Here are our Dodgers-Angels picks.
In a rather unique MLB scheduling spot, the Dodgers and Angels are set to conclude a two-game weekend series under the lights on Saturday night.
The NL West-leading Dodgers (52-37 against the spread, 35-46-8 Over/Under) have gotten the better of their Southern California rivals in each of three previous matchups this season. Those results include the eight-run drubbing that took place on Friday. The Dodgers have been on a torrid hot streak of late. Their lead in the division has ballooned to 9 1/2 games as a result.
As for the Angels (42-49 ATS, 39-45-7 O/U), they’ve been ice-cold for the better part of the last two months. Despite having two of the best players in the entire sport, the Angels enter Saturday's contest 13 games below .500. Dating back to June 28, the team has won only three games total, each of which featured Shohei Ohtani as the starting pitcher.
