Key Storylines
Pitching matchup
Dustin May comes into this start at 6-6 on the year. He holds a 4.73 ERA and is working toward his first full season since 2020. Walks are a concern for May this year. He has given up 43 of them in 99 innings. Control will be a huge focal point for May in this game. Opposing May is Walker Buehler. Buehler is facing his former team in this game. He is 6-6 and has a 5.72 ERA as he looks to impress his former club in this contest.

Final Thoughts
The Red Sox won the second game of this series on Saturday due to a starting pitching advantage with Garrett Crochet on the bump. Crochet is not walking through that door today. With things being about equal on the mound in this game, I’ll take the Dodgers and their vastly superior lineup to get the job done and to take the season series against the Sox in the process.
