Athletics vs. Dodgers Betting Prediction
I like the A’s in this contest. Their starting pitcher for Thursday’s game will be 29-year-old right-hander Osvaldo Bido. Bido has been much better on the road than at home this season. In 4 home starts in 2025, Bido is 0-3 with a 6.00 ERA and an opponent batting average of .333. In 4 road starts this year, the Los Hidalgos, Dominican Republic, native is 2-0 with a 3.48 ERA and an opponent batting average of .233.
What’s more, left-handed batters are only hitting .236 against Osvaldo Bido this season. And finally, current Dodgers hitters are batting .227 with a .655 OPS in 22 at-bats against the 6’3” 175-pound starting pitcher. It likely won’t be easy, but I like the Athletics to take Thursday’s contest. The pick is the Athletics +164 on the money line over the Dodgers at Bovada.lv.
