Dodgers vs Angels: Game 1 Prediction, Odds and Picks - June 21, MLB 2024

The Los Angeles Dodgers will take on their city rivals, as they open a freeway series against the Los Angeles Angels. Shohei Ohtani will play against his former teammates once again as they square off at Dodger Stadium.

The Halos and their struggles continue as they take on opponents. With Mike Trout out of the lineup due to recovery from surgery on his torn meniscus, Ron Washington and his team have their work cut out. Making a postseason run will be tough with their slumping performance.

For Game 1, the Angels will send Patrick Sandoval to the mound. The pitcher has had a difficult season, with a 2-8 record and a 5.24 ERA. The southpaw is going up against a strong offense, and the Angels will need to open up their bats if they want to win.

The Boys in Blue will hand the ball to Landon Knack in Game 1. Knack had a decent start with a 1-1 record and a 2.61 ERA, but he has a long way to go to establish himself as a dominant pitcher. With the right support from the plate, Knack should be able to pull off a win in this game.
