LA Dodgers (56-30) at Athletics (40-46) — Game Preview
The LA Dodgers (56-30) head to Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, where they face an Athletics team (40-46) still searching for consistency in the AL West. Los Angeles carries a team ERA of 3.43 into this one while the Athletics’ pitching staff has posted a 5.02 ERA on the season, a gap that reflects two clubs at very different points in 2026. Shohei Ohtani anchors the Dodgers’ lineup as one of the game’s most compelling offensive forces — hitting .296 with an .412 on-base percentage, a .542 slugging mark, 18 home runs and 50 RBI, putting him firmly in the NL MVP conversation. Andy Pages has been equally dangerous for Los Angeles, with 16 home runs and 60 RBI while batting .271 out of center field, while Freddie Freeman provides another dimension in the lineup — the first baseman is hitting .293 with a .382 OBP and 46 RBI adding depth to a Dodgers lineup that has scored 434 runs this season. For Sacramento, Nick Kurtz has been the story of the Athletics’ season, hitting .276 with 19 home runs, 64 RBI and a .421 on-base percentage, and the July trade deadline looming gives this game added context for both sides.

Players to Watch: LA Dodgers vs. Athletics
LA Dodgers
Shohei Ohtani — DH. The center of the Dodgers’ offense and a leading NL MVP candidate, Ohtani is hitting .296 with 18 home runs and 50 RBI, combining elite contact with genuine power. His .412 on-base percentage and .542 slugging mark give pitching staffs little margin for error when he steps to the plate.
Andy Pages — CF. Pages is hitting .271 with 16 home runs and 60 RBI through 85 games, a strong production line for a center fielder in the National League. The counting stats tell the story, and Pages has been delivering them from the center field spot all season.
Freddie Freeman — 1B. Freeman gives the Dodgers a contact option behind the power in the lineup, hitting .293 with a .382 on-base percentage and .494 slugging mark across 83 games. His 46 RBI and 13 home runs underscore his value as a connector between Ohtani and the rest of the order.
Athletics
Nick Kurtz — 1B. Kurtz has been the Athletics’ most consistent offensive player this season, hitting .276 with 19 home runs and 64 RBI through 85 games. The .421 on-base percentage and .516 slugging mark suggest a hitter who has settled in quickly and is producing at a clip that would rank among the better first-base seasons in the AL West.
Shea Langeliers — C. Langeliers has matched Kurtz’s home run total with 19 on the season while batting .263 with 43 RBI in 78 games behind the plate. For a catcher to post that kind of power output while holding down an everyday role is a significant asset for Sacramento, and it makes Langeliers one of the more dangerous middle-of-the-order hitters the Dodgers will face tonight.
Carlos Cortes — RF. Cortes provides the Athletics a contact-and-patience option in the outfield, batting .272 with a .354 on-base percentage across 66 games. He has 6 home runs and 22 RBI, and his ability to work counts and reach base at that clip gives the Athletics a different kind of threat from the power profile of Kurtz and Langeliers ahead of him in the order.
