The Los Angeles Dodgers face the Houston Astros in a rare Wednesday morning matchup. Here’s everything you need to know about Tyler Glasnow’s start and the early 11:10 a.m. PT first pitch.

Set your alarms, Dodgers fans—Wednesday morning baseball is here, and it's a rare treat for the West Coast. The Los Angeles Dodgers face off against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park, with first pitch scheduled for 11:10 a.m. PT (1:10 p.m. local time in Houston). That early start means you'll want to plan your morning around catching all the action, especially with ace Tyler Glasnow taking the mound.

Glasnow (3-0) has been electric this season, boasting a stellar 2.56 ERA, a microscopic 0.828 WHIP, and 47 strikeouts. His dominance has caught the eye of Dodgers Nation's Doug McKain, who ranks Glasnow second in the rotation—trailing only National League Pitcher of the Month Shohei Ohtani. That's no small feat, considering it puts Glasnow ahead of World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto and NL ERA leader Justin Wrobleski (1.25 ERA). "Tyler Glasnow has put together a really good start to the season," McKain noted. Can he keep that momentum rolling under the morning sun?

On the other side, the Astros counter with Lance McCullers Jr., who's struggled to a 2-2 record and a 6.32 ERA with 33 strikeouts. The Dodgers already made a statement in the series opener, crushing Houston 8-3. After a team-wide slump that saw them go six games without a home run, the Boys in Blue erupted with two dingers in a hit parade. They'll look to sustain that offensive firepower Tuesday night against Astros starter Peter Lambert (1-2, 3.52 ERA, 19 strikeouts).

Tuesday's game features Ohtani on the mound—though he won't bat—and he's been nearly unhittable with a 0.60 ERA, 2-1 record, and 34 strikeouts. Dalton Rushing slots in as the designated hitter and leadoff man. Expect Ohtani to return to the DH role Wednesday morning, likely leading off again, though it hinges on how he recovers from his Tuesday start.

Are you ready for some morning baseball? Grab your Dodgers gear, brew that coffee, and settle in for a showdown between two powerhouse teams. This is the kind of game you won't want to miss.
