The read
Under the lights at Chavez Ravine, the Los Angeles Dodgers look to put the finishing touches on a dominant series sweep against a New York Mets team desperately searching for an identity. It is Jackie Robinson Day in Los Angeles, and the atmosphere favors a Dodgers squad that has looked every bit like a championship favorite through the first three weeks of the season, entering tonight with a league-best 13-4 record.
The matchup on the mound is a heavyweight bout, but the momentum is heavily tilted toward Shohei Ohtani. Entering tonight with a 0.00 ERA and a personal streak of 28 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings, Ohtani has been untouchable. He is notably absent from the batting order tonight to focus exclusively on his pitching duties, a strategy that should worry a Mets offense that is currently mired in a historically poor stretch. New York has been outscored 36-10 during their current seven-game losing streak and possesses a major-league-worst .112 isolated power (ISO). While Clay Holmes has been excellent for the Mets with a 1.50 ERA and a 61.5% groundball rate, his task is monumental against an LA lineup that leads baseball in OPS (.838) despite being without Mookie Betts.
The Dodgers have found incredible production from their younger core, specifically Andy Pages, who is hitting .397 with 20 RBIs, and Dalton Rushing, who has been nearly impossible to retire since his call-up. This depth allows the Dodgers to remain relentless throughout the order. Conversely, the Mets have struggled to generate anything beyond Francisco Lindor's solo shot yesterday, which ended a 20-inning scoreless drought. With a fresh Dodgers bullpen featuring Alex Vesia and Evan Phillips waiting behind Ohtani, the margin for error for Holmes and the Mets is nonexistent. Given the elite form of Ohtani and the complete offensive tailspin of the visitors, the Dodgers are the clear choice to complete the sweep at home.

Props on this game
2Shohei OhtaniOVER 7.5 Strikeouts Strikeouts-125
LActual 0
Ohtani has returned to the mound in 2026 with elite velocity and command, pitching 12 scoreless innings to start the year. He faces a New York Mets team that is currently mired in a seven-game losing streak and is pressing at the plate. Four primary Mets starters (Robert Jr., Bichette, Semien, and Baty) have recorded 10 or more strikeouts over their last 10 games. Ohtani’s high-whiff arsenal is ideally suited to exploit this high-strikeout environment, as the Mets currently lack the offensive discipline to consistently avoid punchouts against elite stuff.
Bo BichetteUNDER 1.5 Total Bases Total Bases-115
LActual 2
Bichette has struggled significantly since joining the Mets, particularly with extra-base power. He has recorded zero home runs in his last 10 games and has stayed under 1.5 total bases in 8 of those 10 contests. Facing Shohei Ohtani, who has been dominant with a 0.00 ERA through 12 innings this season, represents the toughest possible matchup for a struggling hitter. The Mets' league-low ISO (.112) underscores a team-wide power drought that makes it difficult for any individual to clear total base props, especially against elite pitching.
