Let’s say, with the Dodgers having played 84 games entering Monday, the rest of the NL West is in dire need of a wild-card spot. The Dodgers took the last two games in San Diego and now lead the Padres by 10 games. Now, they head to Sacramento to face an Athletics team that has started to slump and is two games out but in fourth place in the AL West.
If you bet on the MLB, the Dodgers, the moneyline is -117. The Athletics are +107. Mookie Betts has been incredibly hot and that isn’t good news for any opponent. Gage Jump is 3-1 with a 2.04 ERA. Eric Lauer is 3-5 with a 4.87 ERA for LA. Go with the home team and over in runs at 10½.
