The Los Angeles Dodgers go for the series sweep as they host the Texas Rangers this afternoon.<\/p>\n

Roki Sasaki will try to right his early-season wrongs, toeing the rubber against veteran Jacob deGrom.<\/p>\n

That gives the visitors a massive starting pitching advantage, so I\u2019m siding with the underdog for my Rangers vs. Dodgers predictions and MLB picks<\/a> below.<\/p>\n

Who will win Rangers vs Dodgers today: Rangers (+110)<\/p>\n

Roki Sasaki<\/a> should be in the Minor Leagues right now, and that\u2019s where he\u2019d be if it weren\u2019t for a wave of Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> starting pitcher injuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old ranks 165th out of 171 starters in Location+ (80), which has led to a 12.2% walk rate. You can\u2019t start at this level with a 1.56 WHIP, and Texas is good enough against RHP (107 wRC+) to capitalize.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jacob deGrom<\/a> has still got \u201cit\u201d, posting a 111 Stuff+ and an elite 32.4 K-BB%. The Texas Rangers<\/a> have won both of his starts, and here\u2019s betting on another victory.<\/p>\n

Rangers vs Dodgers Over\/Under pick: Under 8.5 (-105)<\/p>\n

If anyone is capable of keeping down a potent Dodgers lineup that’s plated 14 runs through the first two games of the series, it\u2019s deGrom. It also helps to have a bullpen with a 2.32 ERA behind you.<\/p>\n

The ball isn\u2019t carrying in MLB as it has recently, with home run rates down across the board. On a wet and rainy day in Chavez Ravine, it\u2019ll be a surprise if a few balls leave the yard for either team.<\/p>\n
