Today’s matchup is between the Los Angeles Dodgers (35-25) and the Pittsburgh Pirates (23-36). The Dodgers have won 3 of their last 5 games & the Pirates have won 3 of their last 5 games.
The Dodgers are starting Tony Gonsolin (RHP), who is making his first start of the season
The Pirates are starting Tyler Anderson (LHP), who is 3-5 on the season with a 4.67 ERA, 4.18 FIP, 0.313 wOBA, K% of 23%, BB% of 6.6%, 89 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.21 WHIP in 61.2 innings pitched.
The Dodgers are 14th in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Pirates are 12th.
On the hitting side, the Dodgers have a .325 wOBA and a .337 OBP with 72 HRs. While the Pirates have a .287 wOBA and a .300 OBP with 39 HRs.
With Tony Gonsolin not pitching this is a tough one to predict. I'll take the Dodgers just because the Pirates can't hit to save their lives.
