Check the Rankings and Game Forecast: Dodgers vs Angels Analysis - 5/16/2026

-135O/U: 8.5
(-110/-110)+115

Justin Wrobleski – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-150/+115)
It may come as a surprise, but fastballs are typically a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Justin Wrobleski has used his fastball a lot this year, though: 57.3% of the time, ranking in the 100th percentile.
Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so pitchers who rely too heavily on them tend to be less effective than they otherwise would be.
Teoscar Hernandez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+130)
Teoscar Hernandez is penciled in 7th on the lineup card today, which would be a downgrade from his 60% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup this season.
Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
Los Angeles Dodgers – 2H Moneyline
The Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen ranks as the 5th-best in baseball, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).
Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.

Jose Soriano – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-120/-110)
Jose Soriano’s 96.1-mph fastball velocity this year grades out in the 85th percentile among all starting pitchers.
Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
Jo Adell – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
Jo Adell has seen a notable gain in his exit velocity lately; just compare his 100-mph average in the past week to his seasonal 91.2-mph average.
Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
Zach Neto – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
Zach Neto pulls a lot of his flyballs (38.5% — 95th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards the league’s 11th-deepest LF fences today.
Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
