Los Angeles Form & Recent Results

Los Angeles heads into this matchup playing some of its best baseball of the season, riding a three-game winning streak and taking four of its last five overall going into Friday’s series opener against Baltimore. The Dodgers are coming off a tight 5–4 home win over the Rays on Wednesday, a game where Freddie Freeman helped set the tone at the plate by going 1-for-4 but making it count with a home run. He also crossed the plate twice and drove in two runs, providing a big chunk of the offense in a one-run game. As a team, Los Angeles put together a solid night offensively with nine hits, one long ball, and 14 total bases, enough production to hold off Tampa Bay late.

On the mound in that same win, Shohei Ohtani gave the Dodgers a workable start, lasting six innings while giving up seven hits and four earned runs. He issued one walk and struck out five, and even though he wasn’t completely dominant, he kept the game within reach and allowed the lineup to do enough damage. Looking at the bigger picture, Max Muncy has been their top power threat this season with 16 home runs, while Ohtani and Andy Pages are close behind with 15 apiece. Pages has been especially important in run production, leading the team with 56 RBI, and Ohtani has also been their most consistent hitter, pacing the Dodgers with a .296 batting average. Over their last five games, Los Angeles is averaging 4.2 runs, and they’ll try to keep that momentum going at home when they face the Orioles on Saturday night.

Baltimore Form & Recent Results

Baltimore comes into this matchup riding a one-game winning streak, but that doesn’t completely erase how rough things have been lately. Before Friday night’s series opener against the Dodgers, the Orioles had lost four of their previous five games, so they’re still trying to regain some consistency. In their most recent game, a 3–0 road loss to Seattle on Thursday, the offense never really got going. Center fielder Colton Cowser was one of the few bright spots, finishing 1-for-2 with a single, but Baltimore couldn’t string hits together or find a way to push any runs across.

Even with the recent slump, there are a few hitters carrying the load this season. First baseman Pete Alonso has been their biggest power threat, leading the team with 16 home runs, while shortstop Gunnar Henderson isn’t far behind with 15. Alonso has also been the Orioles’ top run producer, pacing the club with 48 RBIs, showing he’s not just hitting for power but also driving in key runs when chances come up. For overall hitting consistency, left fielder Taylor Ward currently leads the team in batting average at .253. On the pitching and defensive side, Baltimore has given up an average of 4.6 runs per game over their last five, and they’ll need to tighten that up if they want a statement win against a dangerous Dodgers lineup in Los Angeles.

Key Stats

  • Baltimore’s Pete Alonso this season: 16 HRs, 48 RBI, .247 AVG
  • Los Angeles’ Andy Pages this season: 15 HRs, 56 RBI, .272 AVG

Baltimore vs Los Angeles Picks and Prediction

Baltimore is expected to hand the ball to Trevor Rogers, who’s had a rough season so far, sitting at 3–7 with a 5.86 ERA. Los Angeles will answer with Yoshinobu Yamamoto, a right-hander who’s been outstanding, posting a 7–4 record and a sharp 2.52 ERA. The Orioles have been mired in a slump for much of the year and haven’t been able to find consistent traction. Even so, the Dodgers know better than to overlook anyone, but on paper they’ll like their chances to keep the momentum going and pick up another convincing win against an opponent that’s still searching for answers. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Dodgers win 3-1.
