Athletics-Dodgers MLB Betting Pick & Prediction: Lance Lynn, Amed Rosario
Athletics-Dodgers Odds
Odds via FanDuel Sportsbook
Athletics: +265 | Dodgers: -330
Athletics +1.5: +125 | Dodgers -1.5: -150
Over 9: -110 | Under 9: -110
Tuesday night’s Athletics-Dodgers odds are some of the most lopsided lines that we’ve seen all season. The Dodgers are -330 Moneyline favorites. It’s astonishing to think that a baseball team can ever have a 75% shot at winning a single ball game, but the A’s might actually be that bad. They are a glorified Triple-A team going up against one of the best franchise’s in baseball that is getting even better at the trade deadline.
The Dodgers will have Lance Lynn on the hill for Tuesday’s game. Lynn came over from the White Sox last week and will now make his debut in Dodger Stadium. He’s consistent and has solid strikeout stuff. There’s not much else a starting pitcher needs against Oakland. He can certainly give up runs, but Lynn is likely to get the job done here.

The A’s have yet to announce a starter in this game. There’s a strong chance that it will be a bullpen game for them, with Ken Waldichuk the likely opener. MLB bettors will have to be on the lookout for this situation and for any MLB bets that come up on prop lines as the game approaches on Tuesday night. Those markets have yet to be released given the uncertainty surrounding Oakland’s pitching, in addition to the final confirmation on Lance Lynn.
One Athletics-Dodgers betting market to be aware of is on the Over 0.5 home runs for Amed Rosario. The Dodgers’ newly acquired infielder was seeing home run lines between +800 to +1000 prior to getting shipped to the Dodgers. His situation won’t change too much in Los Angeles. He’ll be hitting in a comparable stadium for power and similar spot in the batting order (Rosario is slotted into the cleanup spot tonight). However, those 8:1 lines were frequently popping as strong values in OddsShopper’s market-based model. Given the matchup with Oakland, the same value should hold for Tuesday.
