- Los Angeles Dodgers: Yoshinobu Yamamoto (RHP)
Moneyline Odds:
- Tigers: +164
- Dodgers: -198
Preview:
The Los Angeles Dodgers open their 2025 season at home against the Detroit Tigers. The Dodgers, always a powerhouse, are heavy favorites in this matchup, and a large part is due to thier pitching matchup. They will send their prized offseason acquisition, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, to the mound. Yamamoto, a star in Nippon Professional Baseball, is making his highly anticipated MLB debut.
The Tigers counter with Tarik Skubal. Skubal showed that he has ace potential.
The Dodgers boast a star studded line up, featuring Shohei Ohtani.
Prediction:
While the Tigers have some promising young talent, the Dodgers are simply the better team on paper. Yamamoto’s debut adds an extra layer of intrigue and advantage for Los Angeles. The Dodgers’ potent lineup, combined with a likely strong performance from Yamamoto, should be too much for the Tigers to handle. The -198 Moneyline suggests a high probability of a Dodgers victory, and I concur.
I predict the Dodgers win this game. The +164 odds for the Tigers are tempting for an upset, but the smart money is on the Dodgers at home to begin their season.
