Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Athletics prediction, pick for Tuesday 6/30/26

Published:

By: Ryan Wohl

The Los Angeles Dodgers, who hold the best record in baseball (55-30), are facing the Athletics in the second of a three-game series. The Dodgers won Game 1 of the series 9-4 and are 6-1 in their previous even contests. The Athletics are 40-45 on the season and are 3-7 in their last 10 games. In the last 10 games between these two teams, the Dodgers are 8-2 against the Athletics.

For this contest on DraftKings Sportsbook, the Dodgers are -180 while the Athletics are +148 to pull off the upset. Check out my preview and best bet for tonight’s Dodgers vs. Athletics game.

Dodgers vs. Athletics prediction, preview

The Dodgers are having an unbelievable season, as they lead the league in team runs (452), batting average (.264), OBP (.346), SLG (.441), and OPS (.788). Tonight, the Dodgers have one of their best pitchers on the mound with Justin Wrobleski. This season, Wrobleski is second in the MLB in record (9-12), seventh in WHIP (1.01), and 12th in ERA (2.71). Wrobleski is going up against Jeffrey Springs, who has struggled for the Athletics this season. Springs is 307 with a 5.52 ERA. This season, Springs has allowed at least three runs in his last five starts.

After some success earlier in the season, the Athletics have hit a rough patch, going 5-10 in their previous 15 contests. The Athletics are 1-3 on their current Los Angeles road trip. Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman have led the Dodgers offense this season. Ohtani has 18 HRs, 50 RBIs, and is batting .298, while Freeman has a batting average of .290, 13 HRs, and 46 RBIs.

Dodgers vs. Athletics pick, best bet

With the Dodgers’ pitching advantage and top-tier offense, I think they will handily beat the Athletics for a second straight time. The Dodgers’ previous three victories have come by at least two runs. Six of the Dodgers’ last eight wins against the Athletics were by two-plus runs. Five of the Athletics’ last seven losses came by two or more runs.

Best Bet: Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-115)
