On top of that, the Halos' lineup is being held together with tape. Jorge Soler got scratched Friday with hip tightness, Vaughn Grissom went out with a side issue, Nolan Schanuel is on a rehab assignment, and Anthony Rendon, Travis d'Arnaud and Yoan Moncada are all on the IL. That is a lot of names you'd normally pencil in, not penciled in.

The Dodgers aren't perfectly healthy either — Max Muncy is out again Saturday after passing concussion protocol (he's officially dealing with a "sore nose"), Teoscar Hernandez is on the shelf with a hamstring, and the rotation is missing Snell, Glasnow, and Gavin Stone. But when your Saturday starter is Yamamoto and your Friday starter just spun a 1-0 win, you're not exactly hurting for arms.

The market sees it clean: Dodgers -330 on the moneyline, -1.5 at -147, and a total parked at 8.5. If Kochanowicz walks the yard again like he did against the Rays, the under is in trouble fast — but Yamamoto in this form is the kind of pitcher who keeps a total in check on his own. The Angels need a leadoff base hit before the third inning just to feel alive in this one.
