Brent Rooker is our favorite bet to hit a home run of anyone playing today. He hasn't homered in his last 8 games, so we're going with a "he's due" approach here. Despite the drought, he's still swinging a solid bat with 3 multi-hit games over that span. Rooker has raked against lefties this season, posting a 1.153 OPS compared to a .736 OPS against righties. He also has a career .927 OPS in games where the opposing starter is a lefty. All 8 of Yusei Kikuchi's home runs allowed this season have come against right-handed batters. We set the line at +230 for Rooker to homer.

The Athletics are playing a bit better of late but have dropped 11 straight on the road. They have lost the last four starts of lefty Jeffrey Springs anywhere. Angels southpaw Yusei Kikuchi has given up three earned run or fewer in seven straight (1.33 ERA overall this year at home) and has a career 3.45 ERA in 57.1 innings vs. the A's. When LA scores first, it is 18-11.
