The Athletics have feasted on left-handed pitching at home. That should continue against Eric Lauer and the Dodgers.

The powerhouse Los Angeles Dodgers are small -115 favorites over the Athletics in the series opener.
While it’s rare to get the Dodgers at such an enticing price, my Dodgers vs. Athletics predictions and MLB picks believe the home team is set up for success Monday night.
Who will win Dodgers vs A’s today: Athletics (-105)
Gage Jump has posted a 2.56 xERA or lower in four of six starts, including three in a row.
He should make life difficult on the Los Angeles Dodgers, who surprisingly rank 24th in wOBA and 26th in average vs. lefties since May 1.
Although Eric Lauer has pitched better since being scooped up by the Dodgers, he has benefited from luck. He owns a 2.83 ERA over the last month despite a 5.17 xFIP.
Regression should set in against an Athletics attack sitting first in home wOBA and SLG against lefties.
Back the Athletics to -115.

Dodgers vs A’s Over/Under pick: Over 10.5 (-110)
Lauer is sporting a sky-high 51% fly-ball rate and has allowed 2.23 homers per nine innings.
He profiles as the exact kind of pitcher who will struggle mightily against a powerful Athletics offense in a very hitter-friendly ballpark.
The Dodgers haven’t fared all that well against lefties of late, but there is no doubt they have the talent to be much better. Jump has also allowed at least three runs in two of three home starts, with a putrid Angels team being the lone exception.
Both offenses should chip in plenty. Bet the Over to -125.
