Dodgers vs Twins MLB Betting Preview
Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Preview
Ohtani has been in otherworldly form at the plate in the month of June, as he holds an OPS of 1.202 and slugged .746 across 63 at-bats.
But he hasn't been quite as dominant as he was earlier in the year from a pitching perspective; over his last 29 and 2/3 innings, he holds an xERA of 3.21 and an xFIP of 3.83. In the same span, his strikeout-minus-walk has dipped to 14.4%, while his Pitching+ rating is down to 107.
The Dodgers will present a tough test for a red-hot Joe Ryan, as they have hit to a wRC+ of 143 versus right-handed pitching over the past 30 days, and hold a BB/K ratio of 0.61 in that span. They are dealing with numerous injuries, as Teoscar Hernandez, Kyle Tucker, Dalton Rushing, and Will Smith are unavailable, but those losses have mainly highlighted the roster's excellent depth.
Given that Tucker has been in disappointing form, the greatest loss is arguably Rushing, especially with Smith currently sidelined. Third-string catcher Chuckie Robinson has not yet recorded a hit in 11 AB's this season, and there's obviously a little less familiarity between him and the pitching staff.
Ohtani has worked as the DH in seven of his 11 pitching starts this season, and at the time of writing, it's unclear whether he will be in the starting lineup on Wednesday.
Minnesota Twins Betting Preview
It will be strength-on-strength Wednesday as the best offense in baseball takes on one of the AL's better starters, Joe Ryan, who is currently priced as the fifth favorite in the AL Cy Young race.
Ryan was originally slated to start Tuesday's matchup but had his outing postponed one day due to illness, and is supposedly now feeling 100% ahead of this matchup.
After an underwhelming month of April, Ryan holds an ERA of 2.45 across his past 55 innings (10 starts). In those outings, he's managed a stellar strikeout-minus-walk rate of 25.5% and holds an xFIP of 3.06. He holds a Pitching+ rating of 111 during the stretch and has consistently worked from ahead in the count with a 68% first pitch strike rate.
The Twins have struggled to get it going offensively in the first two games of this series, but have been on fire at the plate of late and somewhat quietly rank second in the AL in runs scored this season. They have posted a wRC+ of 128 versus right-handed pitching over the past 30 days, and hold the fourth-lowest soft contact rate as well as the fourth-highest line-drive rate in that span.
Dodgers vs Twins Pick, Betting Analysis
The Dodgers will provide a very difficult test for Ryan, but he has been among the best starters in baseball following a slow start to the year, and holds a convincing underlying portfolio led by his elite strikeout-minus-walk rate.
Ohtani's pitching metrics have not been quite as excellent over his last five starts as they were earlier in the year, and Ryan should give the Twins a chance to hang around in this matchup.
Minnesota's offense has been among the best in baseball over the last month and is one of the few units to match the Dodgers' production against righties of late.
Obviously, the Dodgers still project as the superior lineup, but a price of +152 to back the Twins with Ryan on the mound still appears to be quite appealing, particularly if we do luck out and the Dodgers give Ohtani a half-off day.
Pick: Twins ML (+142 or Better)
