Dodgers Game Today: Dodgers vs Pirates Lineup, Odds, Prediction, Pick, Pitcher, TV for Aug. 18

The Los Angeles Dodgers haven’t blitzed by the Pittsburgh Pirates, as some anticipated they might during this series, but a win’s a win.

And two wins are two wins. Any way you can stack them at this point in the season, it’s valuable, especially as the Giants continue to surge while dispensing the Mets.

New York sits on the Dodgers’ horizon once more as soon as this series wraps, but there’s one more hurdle for Los Angeles to escape before that showdown series with Steve Cohen’s underperformers.

Despite an undermanned pitching staff and a slapdash attempt to cover the middle innings (way to go, Andre Jackson!), things continue to look up for LA two games into this series, and Dodgers will go for the sweep on Wednesday night.

What Time is the Dodgers Game Today?

Dodgers Pitcher Today

Um…so, about that…the Dodgers still have yet to name a starting pitcher for this one, lending a carnival feel to the final game of this set. The Pirates will counter nobody with JT Brubaker’s 4-12 mark and a 5.13 ERA.

Dodgers Starting Lineup

No Trea Turner. Hmm.

Dodgers vs Pirates Prediction Today

We’re going to…once again anticipate LA will edge past the Pirates here, but this will be a high-scoring close affair, as neither team will be supplying their best pitchers, and the ‘Burgh offense isn’t necessarily a joke. 7-5, Dodgers.
