The Dodgers are in strong form with a record of 29-15, riding high as they secure a three-game winning streak. Meanwhile, the Angels are struggling at 17-25, having just lost a disheartening game where their starter allowed 8 earned runs. <\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers are projected to start right-handed pitcher Dustin May, who has had a challenging season with a 1-3 record and a 4.08 <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">ERA<\/a>. Despite this, May ranks as the 90th best starting pitcher in MLB, and the projections suggest he is likely to pitch around 5.6 innings, allowing 2.2 earned runs. He\u2019s also facing an Angels lineup that tends to strike out often, placing him in a favorable position.<\/p>\n<p>On the other side, Jack Kochanowicz is taking the mound for the Angels. Kochanowicz, coming off an underwhelming season with a 2-5 record and a 5.23 <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">ERA<\/a>, is considered one of the worst pitchers in the league according to the advanced metrics. He projects to allow 3.4 earned runs over just 4.7 innings, and his high walk rate (9.7 BB%) could prove costly against the Dodgers\u2019 high-octane lineup that ranks 2nd in the league in overall offensive capability.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers\u2019 offense shines with the 1st best batting average and 2nd best home run total in MLB, indicating they can capitalize on Kochanowicz\u2019s weaknesses. With an implied team total of nearly 6 runs, the Dodgers look to continue their dominance against a struggling Angels side that has a low implied total of 3.53 runs. This matchup sets up the Dodgers as heavy favorites, and given their current form and the disparities in pitching, they should be well positioned to extend their winning streak.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 3rem 0 0 0;\">Los Angeles Angels Insights<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Jack Kochanowicz &#8211; Over\/Under 2.5 Strikeouts (-115\/-115)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">It may come as a surprise, but fastballs are generally a pitcher&#8217;s least effective pitch.
