The Los Angeles Dodgers go for the sweep of the Athletics on Wednesday night in Sacramento.
Having won seven of their last eight games, L.A. is the favorite (-163) in the betting market.
That being said, my Dodgers vs. A’s predictions and MLB picks for Wednesday, July 1, think there’s value with the A’s (+152) given their starting pitching advantage.
Who will win Dodgers vs A's today: Athletics (+152)
The Los Angeles Dodgers have opted to push back Shohei Ohtani’s start to Friday, leaving them in a precarious pitching situation for today’s series finale.
Charlie Barnes is expected to get the start, and neither his 6.14 xERA across 43 career Big League innings nor his 1.59 WHIP at Triple-A inspire confidence. The bullpen behind him has a below-average 4.12 SIERA in the last 14 days.
J.T. Ginn (3.93 xERA) gives the Athletics a starting pitching advantage. With L.A. having already wrapped up the series, I’ll back the A’s at home up to +145.
COVERS INTEL: With winds of 8–10 mph blowing out to dead center on a warm, sunny day in Sacramento, J.T. Ginn will look to keep the ball out of the air with his 74th-percentile groundball rate.
Dodgers vs A's Over/Under pick: Over 10.5 (-128)
Both of the first two games of this series went Over the total, moving the Athletics to 26-15-2 O/U at home.
Barnes has an unseemly 75 Stuff+ that would rank 289th out of 290 pitchers to have started a game in the MLB. The A’s rank ninth in wRC+ (102) against southpaws and should inflict damage.
The Dodgers’ lineup is fully operational with Teoscar Hernandez and Tommy Edman back healthy and Mookie Betts resembling his former self (202 wRC+ since June 19).
There’s reason to expect supple offensive output from both teams at Sutter Health Park (110 Park Factor).
