Oakland is 8-17 in their last 25 games against a team with a losing record and 16-38 in their last 54 road games while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games against a team with a left-handed starter. Los Angeles is 4-1 in their last 5 home games and 2-6 in their last 8 games against a team with a left-handed starter while the under is 35-17-2 in their last 54 series-opening games.

Pick

I’m backing the over here. I just do not trust this pitching matchup between Ken Waldichuk and Jose Suarez and while both teams can be inconsistent at the plate, I think this pitching matchup can produce some runs here. Give me the over in this one.
