Athletics vs. Dodgers Betting Prediction

The Dodgers got blown out on Tuesday night by a score of 11-1. I believe Los Angeles will right the ship on Wednesday. A few numbers make the case for the Dodgers ahead of this contest. L.A. is 9-5 straight up after a loss and 15-4 straight up as a home favorite this year. What’s more, the Dodgers are 5-2 straight up in interleague games and 21-11 straight up when playing on no rest in 2025. And finally, Los Angeles is 24-13 straight up when playing an opponent on equal rest and 22-13 straight up in non-division games this season.

Since May 3rd, the Dodgers have alternated wins and losses over their past 10 contests. If that pattern holds, L.A. is due for a win here. I think the pattern holds, and the Dodgers get a home victory on Wednesday. The pick is Los Angeles -272 over the Athletics at Bovada.lv.
