Los Angeles Dodgers vs Houston Astros Prediction: Another tough contest expected

On Sunday, Major League Baseball action will take place at Dodger Stadium, featuring a matchup between the Houston Astros and the Los Angeles Dodgers. This will be the second of three games that will be played over the course of the weekend. The Los Angeles Dodgers were victorious in the series opener on Saturday, and it was a close game.

Last week, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Los Angeles Angels in both of their games against each other. Last Saturday, the Los Angeles Dodgers outhit the Astros of Houston 9-3, leading to their triumph in a game that ended with a score of 3-2. After a total of 6.0 innings pitched, starter Emmet Sheehan was credited with two earned runs, three hits, and two walks. On Sunday, LA's Bobby Miller will take the field as the game's first starter. Miller has a record of 3-1 with an earned run average of 2.83 and 28 strikeouts in 28.2 innings pitched over his five appearances this season, the first five starts of his career. The Los Angeles Dodgers have a record of 76-28 over the past 104 games they've played in game two of a series and 42-17 over the previous 59 games they've played on a Sunday. The Los Angeles Dodgers have gone 108-44 at home over the course of the previous 152 games.

Last week, the Houston Astros played against the New York Mets, and they ended up winning two of the three games in that series. On Saturday, Houston faced the Los Angeles Dodgers and had a chance to tie the game, but they were unable to score beyond the fourth inning, and they ended up losing 3-2. JP France started the game and went 6.0 innings, allowing three earned runs on eight hits while walking two batters. Ronel Blanco will take the mound for the Houston Astros on Sunday as the team's starting pitcher. Blanco has appeared in 12 games thus far this season, including three starts, and has a record of 1-0 with a 4.66 ERA and 31 strikeouts in 29.0 innings pitched. Blanco has appeared in 19 games (three of which were starts) and has a lifetime ERA of 5.09. In their past five games played on Sunday, the Houston Astros have a record of 4-1, and in their last eight games played in game two of a series, they have a record of 6-2. In their previous 105 games against teams with a winning record, the Houston Astros have a record of 71-34.

I'm going to choose the Dodgers to win this game. However, you shouldn't bother touching it because the line is far too thick to meddle with. Miller is in need of a strong start after going 5.2 innings against San Francisco on June 17 and allowing seven runs, seven of which were earned. Blanco is now in the same position; in his most recent appearance, he allowed the Reds to score five runs over the course of 5.2 innings. Despite the fact that the scoreboard went blank after the fourth inning, the Los Angeles Dodgers turned forth a solid effort on Saturday that was quite good all around. Even so, it was an optimistic start, and I think Los Angeles Dodgers will be able to keep it up in the next game.
