Dodgers vs. Rays: Game 2 predictions, odds and picks - August 24, MLB 2024
The Los Angeles Dodgers had one of their best walk-off victories against the Tampa Bay Rays in their most recent contest. The Rays held their opponent to 3-3 and were down to the ninth innings when Shohei Ohtani showed up to the plate.
With the bases loaded against Colin Poche, it took Ohtani just one swing to end the game with ease. Dave Roberts will hand over the ball to veteran pitcher Clayton Kershaw in Game 2.
Kershaw had a strong comeback for his team and is predicted to get some early Ks against the Rays.
The Rays squandered their 3-0 lead as Kike Hernandez smashed a three-run homer to tie the game. It was a tough game as they struggled to maintain their lead. The team was also unable to do much towards the end and would hope to rebound from their last loss.
Taking the mound against Ohtani will be right-handed pitcher Taj Bradley. The rookie is going up against a tough opponent and it's not going to be easy to keep them down from scoring in big numbers. The Rays must turn to their bullpen and the offense if they want to win this game.

Dodgers vs. Rays Prediction
It's going to be a veteran pitcher against a rookie. At the same time, it's a powerful hitting squad against a team that is struggling to make the playoffs.
Dave Roberts and his squad have a great chance of retaining the lead in the MLB. Kershaw is a seasoned pitcher who has performed well.
The Rays will struggle to make it past Kershaw while Bradley is no match for the Dodgers' offense. Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Teoscar Hernandez and Max Muncy are back in the game.
The odds are against the Rays to win with their unbalanced offensive and defensive unit. An easy victory lies ahead for Ohtani and his team as they look to take the series from the Rays.
