The Los Angeles Dodgers have set their lineup for a potential series sweep, as they prepare for the finale against the New York Mets this afternoon. After a nail-biting 2-1 victory on Tuesday, the Dodgers are looking to close out this three-game set in style.

All eyes will be on the mound, where Shohei Ohtani is set to make his third start of the 2026 season. The two-way superstar has been virtually untouchable so far, pitching 12 innings without allowing an earned run. Interestingly, Ohtani will be focusing solely on his pitching duties today, leaving his bat out of the lineup as the designated hitter.

With Ohtani on the hill, Manager Dave Roberts has shuffled the batting order to maximize offensive potential. Newcomer Kyle Tucker gets the nod in right field and will lead off for the first time in a Dodgers uniform, setting the table for a powerful heart of the order. Catcher Will Smith moves up to the two-hole, followed by the ever-reliable Freddie Freeman and power threat Teoscar Hernandez.

The full lineup showcases the team's depth: Tucker in right field leads off, followed by Smith catching, Freeman at first, Hernandez in left, Max Muncy at third, Andy Pages in center, Dalton Rushing as the DH, Hyeseong Kim at short, and Alex Freeland at second.

They'll face Mets right-hander Clay Holmes, who has struggled with command early this season, allowing a concerning number of baserunners in each of his outings. The Dodgers' offense will look to capitalize and secure their first sweep since taking three from the Washington Nationals in early April.

First pitch is set for this afternoon as the Dodgers aim to continue their strong start to the season and build momentum in the NL West race.
