Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Athletics Prediction

I’m backing the Dodgers here. The A’s have one of their better options in Ginn going here, but the Dodgers have been able to crank the A’s in this series and that’s been against lefties when they’ve been bad against lefties in June. Now this Dodger lineup gets to hit a righty and I look for the Dodgers to keep it going here for the sweep. Give me the Dodgers in this one.
