SFG @ LAD — 5/13/2026
Current matchup: SFG 17-24, 7-12 away; LAD 24-17, 13-9 home. Probable starters: Robbie Ray, 3-4, 2.76 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 47 K; Shohei Ohtani, 2-2, 0.97 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, 37.0 IP, 42 K. Current market range used: SFG +199 to +235, LAD -240 to -312, full-game total 8.0 to 8.5. Consensus value table uses SFG +215, LAD -270, full-game total 8.0.
Team baseline is heavily LAD: SFG has scored 139 runs with a .244 AVG, .292 OBP, .364 SLG, and 3.4 runs/game; LAD has scored 206 runs with a .265 AVG, .344 OBP, .434 SLG, and 5.02 runs/game. SFG staff profile is 4.03 ERA / 1.34 WHIP; LAD staff profile is 3.42 ERA / 1.139 WHIP.
Lineup basis: SFG — Willy Adames, Luis Arraez, Matt Chapman, Rafael Devers, Casey Schmitt, Heliot Ramos, Jung Hoo Lee, Harrison Bader, Jesus Rodriguez. LAD — Dalton Rushing, Miguel Rojas, Freddie Freeman, Will Smith, Andy Pages, Kyle Tucker, Teoscar Hernández, Max Muncy, Santiago Espinal. Mookie Betts is not expected to start, and Ohtani may not hit while pitching; that creates a material LAD lineup deduction even with Ohtani’s pitching edge.
Ray’s recent form is steady but walk-prone. His May starts total 12 1/3 IP, 8 H, 4 ER, 3 HR, 4 BB, 12 K; his full 2026 game log shows 5+ IP in every start and no outing above 3 ER. His road profile is weaker than the season line: 4.15 ERA in 17 1/3 road innings, with the team losing all three of his road starts.
Ohtani is the main suppressor. He has 6 starts, 37.0 IP, 0.97 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, 42 K, and only 4 ER allowed. His home split: 18 IP, 8 H, 2 ER, 8 BB, 1.00 ERA. His prior start was 7 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 8 K.
Batter-vs-pitcher edge is mixed. Dodgers with strong historical samples vs Ray include Miguel Rojas, Enrique Hernández if active, and Freddie Freeman; Will Smith and Max Muncy have weaker samples. Ohtani’s pitching history vs SFG is excellent at 0.43 ERA and 25 K in 4 appearances, but most of that is older than the core modeling window, so it was used lightly.
Weather/park: Dodger Stadium is outdoor, with game weather around 63-64°F, 0% precipitation, and light wind. The park/weather adjustment is slight-over for wind but still modest overall because temperature is not especially hot.

Two alt KBO lines for a + money parlay.
Hanwha Eagles at Kiwoom Heroes
Hanwha is 6-4 over the last 10 and scoring 8.6 runs/game with a .343 BA. Kiwoom is 2-7-1 in the same span, scoring only 3.1 runs/game, while allowing 7.7 runs/game with a 6.59 SP ERA and 7.16 bullpen ERA. That screams over more than it screams “pay -264.”
The batter edge is massive: Hanwha has Moon Hyun-bin, Yonathan Perlaza, Kang Baek-ho all sitting top-8 in KBO OPS, while Kiwoom’s best qualified bat listed is An Chi-hong at .817 OPS and then a steep drop.
Starter-wise, Wilkel Hernandez has a 4.86 ERA/1.47 WHIP and gave Kiwoom 4 ER in 4⅔ on March 28, so Kiwoom can contribute to the total. Park Jeong-hun has a 4.15 ERA/1.67 WHIP and just gave Samsung 4 ER in 4 IP in his first 2026 start; he did throw 1⅓ scoreless relief innings vs Hanwha on March 28, but this is a different role and a much hotter Hanwha lineup.
SSG Landers at KT Wiz
SSG is 3-6-1 over the last 10 with a 6.00 SP ERA and 4.34 RP ERA. KT has cooled off at 4-5-1, but the matchup is mostly about the starters: Takeda Shota has an 8.14 ERA, 1.89 WHIP, while Caleb Boushley is at 3.55 ERA over 38 IP.
Takeda did throw 5 shutout innings vs KT on April 25, so there is a head-to-head caution flag. But his full game log is messy: 7 ER vs NC, 5 ER vs Doosan, 5 ER vs Kiwoom, 4 ER vs Hanwha. That profile at Suwon against the league’s top team is not something I want backing at near pick’em.
SSG did beat KT 5-1 on May 12, but that makes this feel more like a KT bounce-back spot with the starting pitcher advantage.
