Dodgers Can Win If…

Los Angeles turns to Clayton Kershaw (9-2, 3.28 ERA), who has been steady all season and went 5-0 in August. The veteran will be making his first career start against Baltimore. With Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, and Mookie Betts in the heart of the order, the Dodgers still feature one of baseball’s most dangerous lineups.

Despite their recent struggles, the Dodgers rank near the top of MLB in home runs and slugging percentage, giving them the firepower to bounce back quickly.

“It takes continuing to compete. To just fight for everything, which I see we’re doing,” manager Dave Roberts said.

If Kershaw delivers length and the bullpen avoids late-game collapses, Los Angeles can stop its skid.

Orioles Can Win If…

Baltimore has been resilient all week, capped by back-to-back walk-off wins in this series. Jackson Holliday’s clutch home run Saturday snapped a near no-hit bid and sparked a four-run ninth inning that stunned the Dodgers. The Orioles’ young lineup continues to show energy, with Holliday and Gunnar Henderson anchoring the order.

Tomoyuki Sugano (10-7, 4.41 ERA) gets the start, though he’s been hit hard in recent outings. Baltimore will need him to pitch deeper into the game to relieve pressure on the bullpen.

“Being resilient, being optimistic every once in a while pays off,” interim manager Tony Mansolino said.

If the Orioles’ offense stays opportunistic and Sugano limits damage, Baltimore could secure a sweep.
