Another slugfest is expected tonight at Sutter Health Park when the heavily favored Los Angeles Dodgers face the Athletics in Game 2 of their three-game series.

The Dodgers are overpriced tonight (-144), and my Dodgers vs. Athletics predictions and MLB picks are expecting a bounce-back victory for the highly undervalued A’s (+138) on Tuesday, June 30. 

Who will win Dodgers vs A's today: Athletics moneyline (+134)

The market is flat-out wrong, pricing the Los Angeles Dodgers as road favorites tonight based on their uber-pristine surface stats.

Justin Wrobleski is the ultimate regression candidate; his 2.71 ERA is a mirage masked by a fraudulent 4.32 xERA and a bottom-tier 17.8% whiff rate.

Conversely, Jeffrey Springs is dynamically unlucky. His bloated 5.52 ERA hides a much sharper 4.41 xERA and a strong .244 xBA, while his 20.6 % strikeout rate provides a true missing-bat floor.

Take the Athletics to +115 tonight.

Covers COVERS INTEL: The Athletics are batting .261 with a .789 OPS with runners in scoring position.

Dodgers vs A's Over/Under pick:  Over 10.5 (-121)

The elements align perfectly for a high-scoring dog fight tonight.

With 90-degree heat and the wind blowing out at Sutter Health Park, flyball tendencies will be heavily penalized.

Wrobleski lacks a solid bat-missing floor (17.8% Whiff%), while Springs possesses an extreme flyball profile (13th percentile groundball rate).

Combined with an Athletics bullpen surrendering a massive 2.55 HR/9 over the last two weeks, routine flyballs turn into cheap home runs in that bandbox.

These two clubs light up the scoreboard whenever they meet and are 9-1 to the Over in their past 10 meetings.

Hammer the Over to 11 runs and -130.
