Angels vs Dodgers
The Los Angeles Angels head to Dodger Stadium to face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the finale of their three-game set on Sunday, May 18 at 1:10 PM PT. Expect morning clouds to give way to sunshine, with temperatures reaching a high of 73°F and dropping to around 56°F by first pitch.
Angels’ Offensive Outburst
The Angels erupted for 11 runs and three homers in Saturday’s 11-9 win, fueled by Logan O’Hoppe’s career-high five RBIs and long balls from Taylor Ward and Matthew Lugo. That outburst snapped a long series drought at Dodger Stadium and showcased the club’s potent lineup when the long ball is flying.

Kenley Jansen’s Emotional Save
Veteran closer Kenley Jansen recorded a four-out save for his eighth of the season and second in as many nights against his former club. His steady performance under the lights reflects both his enduring talent and the emotional stakes of returning to the mound where he spent 12 seasons.
Starting Pitchers
Yusei Kikuchi (0-4, 3.72 ERA) takes the ball for the Angels, seeking his first win of the season despite flashes of quality. Opposing him is Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin (2-0, 2.81 ERA), off a strong return from Tommy John surgery and unbeaten in three career starts versus Los Angeles.
Key Matchups and Trends
The Angels’ three homers pushed them into the top five in baseball, while the Dodgers remain second overall with 76 long balls. Watch for Shohei Ohtani, who leads MLB with 16 homers, to face his former friends. The Dodgers’ bullpen depth is tested with Kirby Yates exiting Saturday’s game, making every late-inning arm crucial.
Our MLB Picks Today
Backing the Angels to complete the sweep offers value after their explosive offense and Jansen’s lockdown closing. For an alternate angle, consider the over on total runs—this matchup has delivered double-digit scoring twice already, and both staffs carry question marks in relief.
