Los Angeles Dodgers vs Athletics Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 8/4/24, 11:46 AM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 8/4/24 at 12:10 PM in MLB Picks

After a major upset in Game 1 when the Athletics beat the Dodgers 6-5, the Dodgers got their revenge in Game 2 by beating them 10-0 in Game 2. In that game Ohtani became the 3rd Dodger in history to hit 30 HRs and steal 30 bases.

He immediately paid off the Dodgers' bet to have acquired Flaherty from the Tigers, who debuted with the Dodgers yesterday and pitched 6.0 innings, struck out 7 and claimed the 8th win.

Still, if the Dodgers lose on Sunday they would lose their 3rd consecutive series. The all-star team, although in 1st place, has failed to live up to the expectations of bettors and betting sites. In fact, a $100 bet on all Dodgers games this season would have netted you a loss of -$1270. July was the worst month for the Dodgers, their record was negative in that month as a result of having hit only .237 collective AVG. The bullpen has not worked well in the last 10 games either, where they have a high ERA of 5.24.

The Athletics average 1.3 HRs per game. They are being led by Rooker who has had a spectacular season, Rooker has 20 doubles, 2 triples, 27 HRs and 79 RBIs.
