Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Athletics Prediction

I’m backing the Athletics here. I think if there was a spot in this series for me to take a shot on the A’s it’s here as I don’t trust Eric Lauer and despite the Dodgers being the Dodgers, the bats have not been strong against lefties in recent weeks. I think Gage Jump is a decent option for this A’s rotation and in the end I think the Athletics get it done here. Give me the A’s.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Athletics -105
