Shohei Ohtani will take another crack at recovering from his current downturn when the Los Angeles Dodgers play host to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday in the middle contest of a three-game series.

Skenes has won two of his three starts versus the Dodgers going back to last season, allowing 7 runs in 11 innings in his first two matchups. He now has a 3.63 ERA against Los Angeles, averaging 13 strikeouts per nine innings.
