Why the Dodgers can cover

Lefty reliever Jack Dreyer will open the game, though Los Angeles right-hander Ben Casparius (3-0, 2.91 ERA) will reportedly see a bulk of the innings. In 11 games, including one start, he has pitched 21.2 innings, allowing 17 hits, seven earned runs and three walks, while striking out 23. In his last outing, a 9-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on April 27, he pitched 3.2 innings, allowing two hits, while striking out five. In a 7-6 loss to the Chicago Cubs on April 23, he pitched 2.2 innings, allowing just one hit and no runs with four strikeouts.

Designated hitter Shohei Ohtani helps power the Los Angeles offense. In 32 games this season, he is hitting .294 with five doubles, three triples, eight homers, 11 RBI and 35 runs scored. He was 3-for-4 with a homer and three runs scored in Saturday’s 10-3 win over the Atlanta Braves.

Why the Marlins can cover

Right-hander Sandy Alcantara (2-3, 8.31 ERA) is expected to take the mound for Miami. Despite being roughed up in his last outing against the Dodgers, he has pitched well overall, allowing three earned runs or fewer in three of his six starts. In a 4-2 win over the New York Mets on April 1, he earned the victory, pitching five innings and allowing three hits, two earned runs and no walks, while striking out four. He took the loss in a 5-2 defeat by the Cincinnati Reds on April 23, pitching six innings and allowing five hits, three earned runs and two walks, while striking out four.

Right fielder Kyle Stowers is among Miami’s top hitters. In 31 games, he is hitting .321 with four doubles, one triple, six homers and 25 RBI. In Wednesday’s 12-7 loss to the Dodgers, he was 4-for-4 with a double, two homers and four RBI.
