The Los Angeles Dodgers set their lineup for the final game of a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels.

The Dodgers ran rampant in the second game of the series, taking a 15-2 win as they clinched their first Freeway Series win since 2024, and Shohei Ohtani looked like his usual self—going 2-for-4 with five RBIs in the contest.

Who is Pitching for the Dodgers on Sunday?​


Roki Sasaki will make his eighth start of the season Sunday, and will look to make some improvements over his last few starts. He has allowed three or more runs in four consecutive outings, as well as one home run in each of his appearances this year.

While his overall numbers have been lackluster, he has shown some promise on the mound this season—specifically in the first two innings of his starts. He has allowed just two runs across all of his starts through the first two innings, and is yet to allow a run in the first inning all season.

Ohtani will lead the line after his strong showing in the second game of the series, followed by first baseman Freddie Freeman at the No. 2 spot. Center fielder Andy Pages moves up to third in the lineup, and right fielder Kyle Tucker will hit cleanup.

Teoscar Hernandez will play on the other side of the outfield and bat fifth, with third baseman Max Muncy filling the No. 6 spot. Dalton Rushing fills in for Will Smith at catcher and will bat seventh, followed by middle infielders Miguel Rojas and Hyeseong Kim to finish the lineup.

Who’s Starting for the Angels?​


The Angels will have Grayson Rodriguez make his first start of the season Sunday, fresh off of an injury which has kept him out since spring training. He hasn’t pitched in MLB since July 2024.

He allowed three runs over the course of two rehab outings in Single-A and rookie ball, which spanned 9.2 innings. The Dodgers will look to jump on the pitcher early as they aim for their first sweep since beating the New York Mets in three straight from April 13-15.

How do you feel about the Dodgers’ offense this series?
