Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Oakland Athletics
Saturday, August 03, 2024 – 09:07 PM ET at Oakland Coliseum
Jack Flaherty’s Dodgers Debut
The Dodgers will give Jack Flaherty his first start in Dodger blue against the Oakland Athletics.
Oakland doesn’t have the worst offense, but most batters aren’t finding much success against Flaherty. After all, Flaherty has held his last 66 batters to a .098 ISO and .197 wOBA.
It’s why he was traded at the deadline in the first place.
Most Runs Will Come From Los Angeles
The Dodgers should still add some runs to the score. However, as a team, they’ve only hit a .335 wOBA against righties and struck out 27.1% of the time.
They’ll face Mitch Spence, who isn’t much of a threat for strikeouts. He’s also allowed a high ISO and wOBA over the last month. However, Spence still holds teams to 46.3% of ground balls and 17.9% of line drives in the last 30 days. He’s still doing some good things.
MLB Computer Pick
With Flaherty on the mound for the Dodgers, the Under has the value.
