Dodgers vs Athletics MLB Betting Preview
Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Preview
With their lead atop the NL West stretched to 12 games, the Dodgers are well situated to begin ensuring all of their top arms arrive in the postseason without being overly worked. Shohei Ohtani was slated to start this game but will now start Friday versus the Padres, making this a bullpen game.
Charlie Barnes is expected to open things up for Los Angeles. He's pitched to a 5.74 xERA with a 6.80 xFIP across five innings at the MLB level and holds a 5.53 xERA with a 5.01 xFIP across 27 innings in Triple-A this season. The rest of the Dodgers bullpen is well rested and has pitched to an ERA of 4.89 with a 3.86 xERA over the last 30 days.
Los Angeles' scorching-hot lineup has enjoyed life at batter-friendly Sutter Health Park thus far in the series, recording 31 hits across the first two games to go along with 18 runs. Over the last 30 days, the Dodgers have posted a wRC+ of 120 while also recording the fourth-best BB/K ratio in baseball and the seventh-highest hard-hit rate.
They own an MLB-best wRC+ of 124 versus right-handed pitching this season and a weighted on-base average of .353.
Athletics Betting Preview
The Athletics will certainly be hoping J.T. Ginn can hang around and handle a fair share of innings in this matchup, as the bullpen has struggled to a 6.17 ERA over the last 30 days while working 108 innings in that span. They rank 16th in Pitching+ and 13th in xFIP during that stretch, so the underlying numbers are more respectable.
The Athletics hold a wRC+ of 119 at home this season (two series in Las Vegas) and have fielded a productive, exciting young lineup as expected. They have remained in steady form offensively with a wRC+ of 108 over the last 30 days, but have been giving up a ton of runs themselves and have lost some ground in the soft AL Wild Card race as a result.
Ginn has pitched to a 3.15 ERA across 88 2/3 innings this season, but his 3.93 xERA and 4.17 xFIP suggest he's due for some regression moving forward.
Ginn has remained in relatively comparable form of late, as he's pitched to a 3.72 ERA with a 3.80 xERA across his last five outings. He holds a Stuff+ rating of 89 and a Pitching+ rating of 92 during that span, along with a subpar strikeout-minus-walk rate of 12.6%.
Dodgers vs Athletics Pick, Betting Analysis
Though Ginn has had a strong start to the season, his stuff does not grade out overly well, and he may not generate much swing-and-miss against a Dodgers lineup that has been on everything recently. Sutter Health Park should offer strong hitting conditions Wednesday, and it wouldn't be surprising if Los Angeles hangs another crooked number in this matchup.
The Athletics lineup offers plenty of offensive upside, though, and could certainly do some meaningful damage against the Dodgers bullpen in this spot, particularly if they can put themselves in position to face the softer arms in a favorable game script.
At -125 or better, there looks to be value in backing this matchup to feature over 10.5 runs, as both teams appear well positioned to have big offensive days and help push this game past its lofty total.
Pick: Over 10.5 (-104, DraftKings | Play to -125)
