MLB Odds Athletics at Dodgers - Dodgers Have Best Record in MLB

The Los Angeles Dodgers have the best record in MLB odds this season but manager Joe Torre believes they can be better. He believes they can get to 25 games over .500, a mark they have not seen since October of 2004. "I look at the standings and the thing I like is the fact that we're 20 games ahead of .500, but I'd like to get to 25," Torre said. "That's the next goal, the next plateau." Torre believes that looking forward is always important. "That's what I've always based my expectations on," Torre said.

"This way, you don't worry about how far you are ahead in the standings. Instead, you can think about adding to your record." The Dodgers could continue toward that mark as they host the Oakland A’s on Thursday at 10:10pm EST in MLB odds. Oakland has had serious trouble scoring runs but they did break out a little bit on Tuesday as they scored four runs in the eighth before losing in extra innings to the Dodgers. MLB odds have the Dodgers -142 at home against the A's +122 in baseball betting odds with a total of 7.5 UNDER -125. The A’s could have trouble scoring runs in MLB odds on Thursday as Randy Wolf is on the mound for Los Angeles. He is 3-2 this season with a 3.41 ERA.

Wolf is 1-0 in his career against the A’s as he allowed three runs in seven innings. Vin Mazzaro gets the start for the A’s on Thursday. He is 2-1 on the season with a 1.37 ERA. Mazzaro won his first two starts but was touched for three runs in a 3-0 loss to the Giants in his last outing. It was still a quality start though as he went six innings.
