These were two of the most productive offenses in the majors last year, with the Dodgers leading the NL in OPS (.768) and the Diamondbacks third (.758). L.A.'s murderer's row has gotten even better after adding Kyle Tucker. Meanwhile, the D-Backs dealt Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suárez midway through last season but the top of their lineup remains formidable with Corbin Carroll, Geraldo Perdomo, and Ketel Marte. Arizona is starting Ryne Nelson who had an xERA of 3.93 last year and was in the bottom fifth percentile in average exit velocity.

Will Smith has some under-the-radar value tonight against Nelson. 

His fastball makes up the bulk of his pitching arsenal, which is something you'd think he'd reduce (at least some) against this Dodgers lineup. Enter the slider.

Nelson relied on this pitch throughout 2025 as a go-to secondary option. If he uses that against Smith, he'll be showing him a pitch on which Smith produced the second-highest average exit velocity and hardest hit rate of any Dodger player.

Star rating: 3 out of 5
When it comes to his strikeout ability, the leading projection system (THE BAT) puts Miles Mikolas in the 3rd percentile among all SPs in the majors.. Miles Mikolas has been given less leash than the average pitcher since the start of last season, throwing 8.6 fewer adjusted pitches-per-game than the average starting pitcher.. Wrigley Field sits at the 10th-highest elevation in the league. High elevation usually leads (as a rule of thumb) to more offense.. The wind projects to be blowing out to LF at 10.5-mph in this game, the 2nd-best of the day for bats.. Out of all SPs, Miles Mikolas's fastball spin rate of 2217 rpm grades out in the 18th percentile since the start of last season.
