Saturday’s MLB slate features a pair of interesting matchups that should be dictated by the starting pitching.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto will look to build off a complete-game gem against the New York Yankees as the Los Angeles Dodgers try to secure a series win over a Mets team that has fallen 18 games below .500.

Meanwhile, Paul Skenes and Shota Imanaga will take the mound in Pittsburgh after the Cubs needed extra innings to win a low-scoring series opener.

First Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (+115) over New York Mets

Rundown:The best team in baseball has not missed a beat coming out of the All-Star break.

The Dodgers are 5-2 since the break, and after throwing a complete game against the Yankees in his last start, Yamamoto draws a much easier matchup against the Mets tonight.

New York has been one of the worst teams in the league all season and is just 22-28 against the spread at home.

In the Dodgers’ 12 wins with Yamamoto on the mound, 10 have come by multiple runs, and expect another comfortable victory tonight.

Second Pick: Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Chicago Cubs – Under 7.5 runs

Rundown: In yesterday’s series opener, this column correctly predicted a Cubs victory largely because of the Pirates’ season-long struggles against left-handed pitching.
