The Pittsburgh Pirates visit the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday, August 22, 2026 at 4:15 p.m. PT from UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, CA.<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Dodgers enter at 78-51 (.605), while the Pittsburgh Pirates sit at 63-67 (.485). Tarik Skubal (7-7, 2.85 ERA in 113.2 innings) is the probable starter for the Dodgers, opposed by Jared Jones (2-5, 4.78 ERA in 64 innings) for the Pirates.<\/p>\n

Below, we’ll give you all the details you need to know about how to watch this game.<\/p>\n

How to Watch Pirates vs. DodgersWhen: Saturday, August 22, 2026 at 4:15 p.m. PTWhere: UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, CATV: FOXStream: Watch 3 days free on FOX One<\/a>, FOX Sports<\/a>Players to Watch\"Tarik<\/a><\/p>\n

Tarik Skubal gives the Dodgers a significant advantage on the mound against a Pittsburgh lineup capable of creating pressure. The Pirates have scored 650 runs while batting .255 with a .332 on-base percentage and 108 stolen bases, making it important for Skubal to limit traffic from the start.<\/p>\n

The projected Dodgers starter is 7-7 with a 2.85 ERA, a 0.96 WHIP and 135 strikeouts over 113 2\/3 innings. Opponents are batting just .213 against him. If Skubal works ahead and keeps Pittsburgh off the bases, he can allow a Dodgers staff that ranks second in WHIP and first in quality starts to control the game.<\/p>\n

\"Shohei<\/a><\/p>\n

Shohei Ohtani remains the centerpiece of a Dodgers lineup that leads MLB with a .764 OPS and ranks second with a .259 batting average. He leads Los Angeles with 30 home runs and is tied for the team lead with 80 RBI while batting .291 with a .390 on-base percentage and a .552 slugging percentage.<\/p>\n

Ohtani presents the biggest challenge for projected Pirates starter Jared Jones, who enters with a 4.78 ERA. Whether he reaches base or drives a mistake over the fence, Ohtani can turn one productive plate appearance into an early Dodgers advantage.<\/p>\n

\"Jared<\/a><\/p>\n

Jared Jones will be tasked with slowing down one of MLB\u2019s most complete offenses. Los Angeles has scored 645 runs while ranking first in OPS, third in on-base percentage and second in slugging percentage.<\/p>\n

Jones has recorded 72 strikeouts over 64 innings, giving Pittsburgh the swing-and-miss ability it needs in this matchup. He also carries a 4.78 ERA, a 1.20 WHIP and three quality starts. If Jones can turn his strikeout stuff into efficient innings and keep the Dodgers from stacking baserunners, he can give the Pirates an opportunity to stay close into the later innings.<\/p>\n

\"Brandon<\/a><\/p>\n

Brandon Lowe provides the power Pittsburgh needs against a Dodgers staff that has held opponents to a .218 batting average. He leads the Pirates with 27 home runs and 80 RBI.<\/p>\n

Lowe went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs in Friday\u2019s 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Dodgers. Two days earlier, he went 1-for-3 with two walks, two runs and a walk-off solo home run against Detroit. He is batting .240 with four home runs through 19 games in August. If Lowe gets a pitch to drive against Skubal or the Dodgers bullpen, he is capable of changing the game with one swing.<\/p>\n
