Dodgers vs Athletics Prediction
The current betting odds have the Dodgers listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Dodgers have looked great in their games this season with their 54-30 record overall which has them right at the top of the NL West with one of the best records in MLB. They have been a great road team too with their 28-16 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Athletics haven't looked great in their games this season with their 40-44 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the AL West. They haven't looked great in their own ballpark either with their 18-23 home record this season. The Athletics were hot to start the season and were even leading the division for a lot of the year, but lately they have been slipping with their offense being all over the place. They are 4-6 in their last 10 games now while the Dodgers have been rolling, going 7-3 in their last 10 games. The Dodgers also have one of the best offenses in MLB this season and they are going to have the better pitching matchup to take advantage of in this one. The Dodgers are going with Wrobleski in this one and he has looked great this season. He is 9-2 with a 2.71 ERA and he hasn't been giving up many runs all year. He is coming off another great start in which he gave up 2 earned runs, something that has been a common theme for him, and his team has also had a lot of success with him lately, winning 3 games in a row now with him starting. The Athletics are going with Springs in this one and he hasn't looked great this season. He is 3-7 with a 5.52 ERA and he has been giving up quite a few runs. His team has won 2 games in a row now with him starting, but he did give up 3 earned runs in his last start and that has been a common theme for him. Look for the Dodgers to keep rolling in this one with the better offense and the better starter. The best way to place a bet here is on the Dodgers to win this game.

Notable Quotes
"There’s a lot more season left than where he was last year, where he kind of wrote it off to play for the team. And I think right now, he’s in a much better place than he was even last year -- mentally, with the swing, all of it. So he’s in a good spot. I see no reason why we can’t keep this going." - Dave Roberts after his team’s win against the Padres in their game on Sunday.
“It’s tough. I mean, you got a 100 mph sinker. He executed pitches on Carlos. Muncy’s line drive was a good at-bat.” - Mark Kotsay after his team’s loss against the LA Angels in their game on Saturday.
