Shohei Ohtani is locked in right now. He hit three home runs against the Braves over the weekend, giving him 10 total for the season. He is slugging .685, which includes a .711 slugging percentage at home. Across his last 16 games, he has recorded at least two total bases 10 times. Look for him to do plenty of damage against Roddery Munoz, who has allowed six home runs over 26 2/3 combined innings at Triple-A and the majors this year. Last year, he gave up 11 home runs across 66 innings at Triple-A.

Betts came out leading the league in homers through the first 10 days of the season ... but somehow hasn't hit one since April 12. The weight is off him in the lineup, though, now, with others crushing the ball around him, this game could get lopsided fast and you know he wants to put the homer slump behind him and get into league-leading form. He'll be able to hunt longballs tonight I figure and we are getting strong value here now given the HR slump. Positive regression is real

Ohtanti has driven in a run in 3 straight and 9 of the last 12 (15 RBI in last 15 games) and gets the feast on some of the worst pitching in MLB here, at a time when the Dodgers lineup looks as deep and robust as it has all year. Promotion of Andy Pages from AAA now has the back end clicking and flipping the lineup over to the top with men on base. Has a God slashline of .400/.455/.700 in the last 7 games, hitting the ball like somebody stole something from him (sorry). Locked in and will do damage at Chavez Ravine vs these hapless arms

Walker Buehler might be on a serious pitch limit here with all he has been through but I really don't care. Most nights of the week the Marlins put up no fight and they just showed a little pulse Sunday after getting embarrassed twice in OAK, so expect them to roll over at Chavez Ravine. Dodgers lineup is rolling. Marlins bad bullpen is in tatters and they are going with an opener here. Good luck.
