Though the weather conditions at Dodger Stadium may favor the hitters, the starting pitching matchup certainly does not. Our MLB betting picks expect Dustin May and Sonny Gray to work their magic this afternoon.
May has been stellar for the Dodgers this season and has been remarkably consistent, allowing two earned runs or fewer in seven of his eight starts. While that’s hard to one-up, Gray has found a way to do just that — allowing a single earned run or fewer in seven of his eight starts.
It also helps that neither starter is a flyball pitcher. May has allowed just a single home run across 47 innings, and has been superb at limiting hard contact with a minuscule 5.3% barrel rate. His FB% of 35.3% is about league average and is the highest number of his career, so there’s a chance that stabilizes as the year progresses. Gray has a low FB% of 32.4% and effectively limits hard contact with a 6.4% barrel rate.

MLB's new pitch clock may be leading to more blown savesThe pitch clock has sped up baseball as hoped, and it might be leading to more exciting endings, too. A quarter of the way through Major League Baseball’s first season with the pitch timer, relief pitchers seem to be bearing the most stress from it, with save conversions dropping to 61.4% from 67.8% at a similar point last season. The save percentage is near the bottom range of the past decade, which averaged 65.1%, MLB said Monday. The high was 70% in 2015 and the low 61% in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. Pitchers say the stress of the late innings has become more difficult to process with the pitch clock.
