Probable Pitchers
Los Angeles — RHP (TBD)
The Dodgers have not officially listed their starter in the league feed. Given rotation patterns, expect a top‑tier arm (Buehler, Miller, or Stone) depending on rest.
Projected Profile (based on Dodgers rotation strength):
- ERA Range: 3.10–3.60
- WHIP: 1.10–1.20
- Strengths:
- Elite fastball command
- High strikeout upside
- Strong road performance
- Matchup Edge:
- Athletics’ lineup struggles vs. high‑velocity right‑handers
- Dodgers’ starters dominate teams below .500
Athletics — RHP Ginn
(Assuming Daulton Ginn based on organizational depth charts)
- Record: 3–6
- ERA: 4.72
- WHIP: 1.34
- Strikeouts: 58
- Profile:
- Sinker/slider pitcher
- Dodgers’ lineup is right‑hand heavy and punishes sinkers left up
- Home ERA: 4.91
- Must avoid early traffic; Dodgers excel at first‑inning scoring

Injury Report
Dodgers
- Mookie Betts — DAY‑TO‑DAY (hand)
- Max Muncy — OUT (oblique)
- Clayton Kershaw — OUT (shoulder)
- Blake Treinen — DAY‑TO‑DAY (elbow)
Impact: Betts’ availability is crucial — he’s the Dodgers’ best table‑setter. Muncy’s absence reduces left‑handed power.
Athletics
- Zack Gelof — DAY‑TO‑DAY (ankle)
- Brent Rooker — OUT (hamstring)
- JP Sears — OUT (forearm)
- Trevor May — OUT (back)
Impact: Rooker’s absence removes Oakland’s most dangerous power bat. Gelof’s status affects OBP and defensive stability.
Key Player Matchups
Freddie Freeman (LAD) vs. Ginn (OAK)
Freeman’s plate discipline and gap power challenge Ginn’s sinker/slider mix. Elevated sinkers are a liability.
Shohei Ohtani (LAD) vs. Athletics Bullpen
Ohtani has been lethal in late innings. Oakland’s bullpen has allowed 17 runs in its last 25 innings.
Zack Gelof (OAK) vs. Dodgers Starter
If active, Gelof’s bat speed gives Oakland its best chance to generate early offense.
