Los Angeles Dodgers Set to Take on Cleveland Guardians as Ohtani Aims For More History

The reigning National League MVP winner, Ohtani leads the league in homers with 19, and he's also added 33 RBIs and 11 stolen bases. With a .295 average and a .392 on-base percentage, he's putting himself in early consideration for a fourth MVP Award in his career.

He's also a huge reason why the Dodgers are 33-21 and lead the National League West. LA beat Cleveland 7-2 on Monday behind that homer from Ohtani and six strong innings on the mound from Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

When the two teams meet on Tuesday, it will be a matchup of righties on the mound as Dustin May pitches for the Dodgers and Tanner Bibee pitches for Cleveland.

May, who has returned this season from Tommy John surgery, has gone 2-4 with a 4.09 ERA. He's one of just a handful of healthy Dodgers pitchers, as the team is still missing Tyler Glasnow, Roki Sasaki and Blake Snell.

As for Bibee, he's the new ace of the Cleveland staff. He sits at 4-4 thus far with a 3.57 ERA.

The Guardians are 29-24 and in second place in the American League Central.
