Look of the Day for Fri. 8/16: Dodgers to jump on Cards' Mikolas

We've gone cold in our Look of the Day series targeting pitcher props, so we're looking to change things up for our last selection of the week. Let's target a quick-hitter with our Look of the Day for Friday's MLB slate.

Look of the Day: Los Angeles Dodgers to score a run in the 1st inning (+150 DraftKings )

Dodgers at Cardinals, 8:15 p.m. ET

The Dodgers are taking on the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night, and we're looking for Los Angeles to jump out to an early lead in this one. Like, really early.

The top of this Dodgers lineup has destroyed Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas in the past. LA's star-studded trio of Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman are a combined 15-29 (.517) with four home runs, two doubles, four walks and only two strikeouts against Mikolas. All three players are batting better than .400 and slugging better than .850 against the right-hander in their careers. Not too shabby, huh?

Betts is batting .400 with a 1.000 OPS since his return to the lineup earlier this week, and Freeman is batting .317 with a .812 OPS over the last 15 days. Ohtani has been struggling at the plate recently, but he likes to break out of slumps in big ways. He can do just that in a matchup he's dominated throughout his career.

Mikolas doesn't get off to good starts consistently, as he has a 4.13 ERA in the first inning this season. He's also been brutal over his last five starts with 38 hits and 20 earned runs allowed in that span.
