Los Angeles Angels Betting Preview

The Los Angeles Angels (23-25, 14-15 Away) are going through their best period of the season after winning six straight games. After a series sweep of the Dodgers, the Angels beat the Athletics in the opening three games of the current series. In last night’s 10-5 victory, Logan O’Hoppe led the offense with three RBI, while Jack Kochanowicz pitched for 4.0 innings in a no-decision, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits with six strikeouts and five walks. Hector Neris was credited with the win.

In Wednesday’s 10-5 defeat, Lawrence Butler led the offense with three RBI, while JP Sears took the loss after allowing six runs on eight with four strikeouts and no walks in 5.0 innings.

This year, the Athletics average 4.22 runs per game (16th in the MLB) on a .252/.313/.411 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Athletics’ staff has a 5.14 ERA (26th) and 1.48 WHIP (26th).

Athletics vs Angels Prediction

The teams have traded wins in the last couple of years, each recording five in the previous ten H2H duels. The Angels won the last four, while seven of the previous ten H2Hs went Over. That was also the case in seven of Los Angeles’ last ten games, which also occurred in seven of the Athletics’ past ten games. I am going with another Over here, even though I think Anderson and Severino are solid pitchers and will fare well in this one. However, the respective bullpens are two of the three worst in the MLB, so I expect a lot of runs late on. Go with Over.

Angels vs Athletics Prediction

The Angels are 3-0 in their last 3 meetings against the A’s, but the Athletics are 8-4 in their last 12 overall meetings, and are 5-3 in their last 8 meetings in Oakland. Over is 6-3 in their last 9 meetings.

In this Angels vs Athletics Prediction, the Athletics are coming as -160 home favorites. Both teams have identical records this season, but the A’s have been terrible at home, while the Angels are mediocre on the road. The A’s have the pitching advantage in this matchup, as Sears has been a far more reliable option than Kochanowicz, and the Angels have the worst bullpen in the MLB with a 6.82 ERA and 1.71 WHIP. The Angels are also much weaker against lefties, with just 2.9 runs/9 and a .193 batting average, so this screams as a bounce-back spot for the A’s. Take the Athletics on the moneyline.

Los Angeles Angels Betting Preview

Kyle Hendricks will take the mound for the Angels on Tuesday. The 35-year-old right-hander has a 1-5 record in eight starts this year with a 5.18 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 41.2 innings.

Athletics Betting Preview

The Athletics (22-25, 8-14 Home) are on a six-game losing skid, their longest such streak of the year. The A’s lost four consecutive series to the Mariners, Yankees, Dodgers, and were swept by the Giants. In Game 1 of the series against the Angels, the A’s fell to a 4-3 defeat. J.T. Ginn took the loss after allowing four runs on six hits with seven strikeouts and no walks in 4.0 innings.

Athletics vs Angels Prediction

The Athletics won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters, including three of the last five. Although Game 1 produced only seven runs, I am going with Over in this one. Seven of the A’s last ten games went Over, and I expect a high-scoring game because rookie Hoglund showed his inexperience and weaknesses in his latest start when he allowed four runs. Kyle Hendricks, on the other hand, surrendered 3+ runs in five of his last six starts. He will get hit early in this one. Back the Over.

Angels vs Athletics Prediction

The Athletics are 8-2 in their last 10 overall meetings against the Angels, and are 5-1 in their last 6 meetings in Oakland. Over is 5-2 in their last 7 meetings.

In this Angels vs Athletics Prediction, the Athletics are coming as -130 home favorites. This game feels closer to a pick ’em, as the Athletics have a slightly better overall record, but they have been terrible at home, where they have fewer wins than the Angels have on the road. The Athletics are also coming in poor form, with five straight defeats, while the Angels have come off a 3-game sweep against the Dodgers.

Both teams are 13-4 to the over in their last 17 games combined, and have two of the three worst bullpens in the MLB this season. Both teams are also better in hitting righties, they are playing in a hitter-friendly park, and I don’t trust any of those pitchers, as Soriano has a terrible history against the A’s. I expect a lot of runs in this one, so take the over 9.5 runs.

Athletics Betting Preview

The Athletics (22-24, 14-11 Away) lost eight of the last ten games, losing the series to the Mariners, Yankees, and Dodgers in the process. The A’s will add another series loss after scoring just one run in two games against the San Francisco Giants. Following a 9-1 loss, they fell short 1-0 in extra innings last night. Luis Severino pitched for 6.0 innings in a no-decision, allowing no runs on four hits with five strikeouts and one walk. Mason Miller took the loss.

This year, the Athletics average 4.38 runs per game (14th in the MLB) on a .256/.315/.423 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Athletics’ staff has a 5.28 ERA (26th) and 1.51 WHIP (29th).

San Francisco Giants Betting Preview

The San Francisco Giants (27-19, 15-7 Home) beat the Chicago Cubs and then were swept by the Twins and lost the series to the Diamondbacks. The Giants are back to winning ways after a couple of victories over the Athletics in the current series. In Saturday’s 1-0 victory, Wilmer Flores drew a game-winning walk with bases loaded in the 10th inning, while Landen Roupp pitched for 6.0 innings in a no-decision, allowing no runs on five hits with five strikeouts and two walks. Camilo Doval was credited with the win.

This season, the Giants average 4.84 runs per game (8th in the MLB) on a .239/.315/.393 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Giants’ staff has a 3.48 ERA (8th) and 1.23 WHIP (12th). Wilmer Flores leads the Giants with a .263 batting average, ten home runs, and 42 RBI this season.

Justin Verlander will take the mound for the Giants on Sunday. The 42-year-old right-hander has a 0-3 record in nine starts this year with a 4.31 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 48.0 innings.

Why the Giants will beat the Athletics

• The Giants have won each of their last six day games against teams that held a losing record.
• The Athletics have lost each of their last nine games as road underdogs following an extra innings loss.
• The Giants have covered the run line in seven of their last eight games at Oracle Park.

Giants vs Athletics Prediction

The Giants won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including four of the last five. Justin Verlander is still looking for his first win as a Giant, and I am backing him to get it on Sunday. The timing is right for him to get it, as the A’s are on a four-game losing streak and not playing well offensively, scoring just one run in this series. Verlander allowed a .206 BA in 63 at-bats against the Athletics in his career. Although I am not ignoring the fact that Jeffrey Springs posted three strong starts recently, allowing only three runs in the process, I am going with Verlander and the Giants.

The Giants also have the best bullpen in the MLB, and are hitting better than the A’s. Deeper analytics show that Roupp is better than Severino this season (3.42 vs 4.53 expected ERA), so I like the Giants in this spot. Take the San Francisco Giants on the moneyline at a decent price.

FanDuel MLB Player Selections

MVP-Heliot Ramos, Outfielder, San Francisco Giants $13,200

On Friday night, Major League Baseball presents the opening game of a three-game interleague series featuring the Athletics and the San Francisco Giants.

How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s MLB game? The San Francisco Giants arrive at the first game of this three-game series with the Athletics playing below average baseball. The Giants have lost five of the team’s last six games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including an 8-7 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks two days ago.

Similar to the San Francisco Giants, the Athletics are not playing well entering the opening game of this interleague series. More specifically, the Athletics have lost six of the team’s last eight games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including an embarrassing 12-2 loss to the New York Yankees last week.

Now that we have determined how both of these Major League Baseball teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to this evening’s contest. Veteran outfielder Heliot Ramos has certainly been playing outstanding baseball for the San Francisco Giants this season. Let’s examine Ramos’s recent game data to better shed light on my previous statement.

In the 43 games that first baseman Heliot Ramos has played for the San Francisco Giants in the 2025 MLB regular season, Ramos has compiled a robust .290 batting average, seven home runs, 14 walks, 22 RBIs (runs batted in), 29 runs scored, a .353 OBP (On-Base Percentage) and a .838 OPS (On-Base Plus Slugging). Clearly, Heliot Ramos is swinging the bat at a high-level entering tonight’s MLB game.

More recently, in the San Francisco Giants 3-2 win over the Texas Rangers last month, Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos certainly played at a high level. Let me be more specific. In the Giants win over the Rangers, Ramos tallied two hits, one RBI, two runs scored and one stolen base. It should also be mentioned that in the Giants defeat of the Texas Rangers, Ramos amassed 21.4 FanDuel points.

In my view, Heliot Ramos is the most likely player to accumulate the most FanDuel points in this MLB game. With that said, I am rolling with San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.

Flex plays I like in this game (FanDuel price noted): Jung Hoo Lee, Outfielder (San Francisco Giants) $11,800: Shea Langeliers, Catcher (Athletics) $10,000: Willy Adames, Shortstop (San Francisco Giants) $6,600.

San Francisco Giants Betting Preview

The San Francisco Giants (25-19, 13-7 Home) beat the Chicago Cubs and then lost the series to the Twins and Diamondbacks. The Giants were swept by Minnesota on the road before losing to Arizona at home. In the most recent 8-7 defeat, Heliot Ramos led the team with three RBI, while Jordan Hicks took the loss after allowing five runs on seven hits with one strikeout and one walk in 2.0 innings.

This season, the Giants average 4.75 runs per game (9th in the MLB) on a .237/.312/.386 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Giants’ staff has a 3.56 ERA (8th) and 1.25 WHIP (14th). Wilmer Flores leads the Giants with a .255 batting average, seven home runs, and 33 RBI this season.

• The Athletics rank 29th in the league for runs allowed this season (247).

Giants vs Athletics Prediction

The Giants won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, but the Athletics were better in four of the last six. Eight of the A’s last ten games went Over, which was the case in six of San Francisco’s previous ten. Sears and Webb are the best starters these respective teams have at the moment, but I am going with Over because of a relatively low total. I am backing the teams to score at least two runs each in the opening five innings, and later, the bullpens will take care of us and our winning bet. Especially the Athletics’, which is one of the worst in the MLB.

FanDuel MLB Player Selections

MVP-Freddie Freeman, First Baseman, Los Angeles Dodgers $13,600

On Wednesday night, Major League Baseball presents the final game of a three-game interleague series featuring the Athletics and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s MLB game? The Los Angeles Dodgers arrive at the third game of this three-game series with the Athletics playing good baseball. The Dodgers have won four of the team’s last seven games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including an 8-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks last week.

In direct contrast to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Athletics are not playing well entering the final game of this interleague series. More specifically, the Athletics have lost five of the team’s last seven games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including an embarrassing 12-2 loss to the New York Yankees four days ago.

Now that we have identified how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to tonight’s contest. First Baseman Freddie Freeman has certainly been a standout performer for the Los Angeles Dodgers. With that said, how has the veteran first baseman performed from a statistical standpoint in 2025? Let’s review’s Ohtani’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.

In the 28 games that first baseman Freddie Freeman has played for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2025 MLB regular season, Freeman has compiled a robust .366 batting average (second in MLB), nine home runs, 21 walks, 33 RBIs (runs batted in), 22 runs scored, a .437 OBP (On-Base Percentage) and a 1.145 OPS (On-Base Plus Slugging) which ranks second in the National League.

Two days ago, in the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-1 win over the Diamondbacks, Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman certainly played at a high level. In the Dodgers win over the Diamondbacks, Freeman tallied four hits (one home run), two runs scored and two doubles. It should also be mentioned that in the Dodgers defeat of the Arizona Diamondbacks, Freeman tallied a whopping 43.9 FanDuel points.

In my opinion, Freddie Freeman is the most likely player to amass the most FanDuel points in this MLB game. Having stated that, I am rolling with Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.

Flex plays I like in this game (FanDuel price noted): Shohei Ohtani, Outfielder (Los Angeles Dodgers) $14,400: Brent Rooker, Outfielder (Athletics) $11,200: Andy Pages, Outfielder (Los Angeles Dodgers) $8,800.

Athletics vs Dodgers Prediction

The Dodgers are 6-2 in their last 8 meetings against the A’s, and are 5-1 in their last 6 meetings in LA. Over is 7-1 in their last 8 meetings.

In this Athletics vs Dodgers Prediction, the Dodgers are coming as huge -200 home favorites. The Dodgers are rightfully favored, as they have been one of the best teams in the MLB this season, but I don’t trust them in a bullpen game the way they are playing lately. I don’t trust Bido for the A’s either, so I will pass on the side. Both games of this series had 12 runs each, and both teams have been playing high scoring games lately, as the Dodgers are a perfect 7-0 to the over at home, and the A’s 6-0 to the over overall. I expect another high-scoring game, so take the over 9.5 runs in this one.

Dodgers vs Athletics Prediction

The Dodgers won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters, including five of the last seven. Following a disappointing and shocking 11-1 defeat in Game 1, I fully expect the Dodgers to bounce back and get revenge on Wednesday. Yamamoto has been lights out this year, and he will be eager to respond to a poor start last time out when he surrendered five runs against the D-backs. Hoglund started his MLB career well, but the rookie will have problems in this one. The Dodgers are a walking hospital at the moment, but I am sure they will overcome their difficulties, secure a win, and cover the run line here.

Two days ago, in the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-1 win over the Athletics, Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman played exceptionally well. In the Dodgers win over the Athletics, Freeman tallied four hits (one home run), two runs scored and two doubles. It should also be mentioned that in the Dodgers defeat of the Athletics, Freeman tallied a massive 43.9 FanDuel points.

In my opinion, Freddie Freeman is the most likely player to amass the most FanDuel points in this MLB game. Having stated that, I am rolling with Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.

Dodgers vs Athletics Prediction

I’m on the over in this game. I’m not sure who the Athletics are starting here, but the Dodgers are still such a potent lineup on a night-to-night basis that I’m not sure it matters. This team can get theirs, and the Athletics’ Bullpen has had more than its fair share of issues as well this season. On the other side, Landon Knack is still a fringe starter in this Dodger rotation, in my opinion, and I think that the Athletics scratch a few runs off of him here to get us up and over this number.

The Yankees have had an up-and-down week, and their effort yesterday wasn’t that great. It would be nice to know who the Yankees are throwing out on the mound when writing this article. Regardless, give me the Athletics and the plus money. The Athletics keep doing enough winning to be worth a look in the underdog role.

Severino has also been respectable this season, for the most part, allowing 43 hits and 20 earned runs in 49.2 innings. Severino needs to improve his control as he allows too many free bases, but he should have motivation here after spending his first eight seasons with the Yankees. After a bad 2023 season, the Yankees let Severino walk and sign with the rival Mets. The 31-year-old Severino should have an extra pep in his step for this one. Give me the Athletics and the more favorable price.

Draftkings MLB Showdown Picks

Captain-Carlos Rodon, Starting Pitcher, New York Yankees $11,600

This Saturday afternoon, Major League Baseball presents the second game of a three-game American League series featuring the New York Yankees and the Athletics.

How are these two teams playing entering today’s MLB game? The New York Yankees arrive at the second game of this three-game series with the Athletics playing good baseball. The Yankees have won three of the team’s last four games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a dominant 12-3 victory over the San Diego Padres four days ago.

In direct contrast to the New York Yankees, the Athletics are not playing well entering the second game of this American League series. More specifically, the Athletics have lost four of the team’s last six games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 9-6 loss to the Miami Marlins last week.

Now that we have determined how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to tonight’s contest. Starting pitcher Carlos Rodon has certainly been an essential part of the New York Yankees starting pitching rotation this season. With that said, how has Rodon performed from a statistical standpoint in 2025? Let’s examine Rodon’s player data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.

Through seven starts made in 2025, New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon has compiled a 4-3 (win-loss record), a 2.96 ERA (Earned Run Average) and a 0.92 WHIP (Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched). It should also be mentioned that Rodon has tallied 57 strikeouts while allowing 20 walks in 48.2 innings pitched this season.

More recently, in the New York Yankees 15-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles last month, New York starting pitcher Carlos Rodon pitched rather well. Rodon pitched six quality innings while scattering two hits and only one walk in the Yankees victory over the Orioles.

In my view, Carlos Rodon is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in today’s MLB regular season game. Having stated that, I am backing New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon at the captain position for this one game MLB DFS slate.

Flex plays I like to play well in this MLB regular season game (Draftkings price noted): JP Sears, Starting Pitcher (Athletics) $11,000: Cody Bellinger, Outfielder (New York Yankees) $7,400: Jacob Wilson, Shortstop (Athletics) $6,600.

The Athletics are having issues finishing games right now and while Sears has been great this season, the Yankees have owned him over his career. In 32 at bats against current Yankees, Sears is allowing a .406 batting average, .486 on base percentage and four home runs. You can argue the Yankees should be steeper favorites than what they are. Give me the Yankees on Saturday afternoon.

FanDuel MLB Player Selections

MVP-Aaron Judge, First Baseman, New York Yankees $16,000

This Friday night, Major League Baseball presents the opening game of a three-game American League series featuring the New York Yankees and the Athletics.

How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s MLB game? The New York Yankees arrive at the first game of this three-game series with the Athletics playing good baseball. The Yankees have won two of the team’s last three games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a dominant 12-3 victory over the San Diego Padres three days ago.

In direct contrast to the New York Yankees, the Athletics are not playing well entering the opening game of this American League series. Let me be more specific. The Athletics have lost three of the team’s last five games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 9-6 loss to the Miami Marlins last week.

Now that we have ascertained how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our attention to tonight’s contest. Veteran outfielder Aaron Judge has been a standout performer for the New York Yankees in 2025. With that said, how has Judge performed from a statistical standpoint in 2025? Let’s review the talented outfielder’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.

In the 37 games that Aaron Judge has played for the New York Yankees in the 2025 MLB regular season, Judge has compiled a rather impressive .400 batting average, 56 hits, 12 home runs, 16 walks, 34 RBIs (runs batted in), ten runs scored, a .491 OBP (On-Base Percentage) and a MLB leading 1.275 OPS (On-Base Plus Slugging).

More recently, in the New York Yankees 12-3 win over the San Diego Padres earlier this week, New York outfielder Aaron Judge certainly played at a high level. In the Yankees victory over the Padres, Judge tallied one hit, two runs scored, one home run, one RBI and one walk. It should also be mentioned that in the Yankees defeat of the Padres, Judge tallied 24.9 FanDuel points.

In my view, Aaron Judge is the most likely player to amass the most FanDuel points in this MLB game. Having stated that, I am rolling with New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.

Flex plays I like in this game (FanDuel price noted): Cody Bellinger, Outfielder (New York Yankees) $8,000: JJ Bleday, Outfielder (Athletics) $7,000: Nick Kurtz, First Baseman (Athletics) $4,800.

Athletics Betting Preview

The Athletics (20-18, 7-11 Home) were on a four-series winning streak after defeating the Rangers, White Sox, Rangers, and Marlins, but couldn’t make it five in a row as they lost two of three games to Seattle. The A’s opened that series with a win, but then the Mariners responded with 5-3 and 6-5 wins.

Athletics vs Yankees Prediction

The Yankees won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters, including five of the last six. Considering the starting pitchers in this one, I’d opt for the Over, but when I saw the run total offered by the bookies, I decided to switch the strategy and bet on the Under. After all, seven of New York’s last ten games went Under, which was the case in six of the Athletics’ previous ten. I think that 10.5 total is too much, so I’m going with Under. Only one of the last seven H2Hs produced more than 10 runs.

Gunnar Hoglund had a great major league debut, but this Mariners’ lineup is still a tough one to navigate, given how well they’re hitting right now.
