Pirates vs. Dodgers Prediction: Should You Trust Shohei Ohtani to Dominate Against Pirates on Saturday Night?

We’ve got a fun one tonight out in Los Angeles as the Dodgers host the Pirates. The Dodgers have been firing on all cylinders lately, and Shohei Ohtani is right in the middle of it. He gets a juicy matchup tonight against Mitch Keller, a pitcher he’s had real success against before. With the way Ohtani has been heating up and the advantage he has against Keller’s arsenal, this feels like a prime spot to target him to go deep.

Pirates vs. Dodgers Prediction

Shohei Ohtani comes into tonight’s game looking dangerous at the plate, and he’s facing a pitcher he’s already homered off twice before. Mitch Keller has been solid at times, but he’s always been vulnerable to giving up the long ball, especially against elite power hitters like Ohtani.

Ohtani matches up extremely well against Keller’s fastball-heavy approach, and with the warm conditions expected at Dodger Stadium, the ball should carry even better than usual. Add in Ohtani’s current form and the fact he’s been seeing the ball really well lately, and this spot sets up perfectly for him to launch one into the seats.

Given his history against Keller and the way he’s swinging it, getting +200 on Ohtani to go yard feels like a gift. I’m riding with one of the best players in the world to put on a show tonight for the home crowd.
