Oakland is 7-19 in their last 26 game two’s of a series and 0-5 in their last 5 Saturday games. The over is 7-2 in Oakland’s last 9 games. The under is 5-2 in these two teams last 7 head to head meetings.

Pick

These two teams played a very high scoring game on Friday night, with the Reds winning by a score of 11-7. Oakland continues to be the worst team in baseball and their team ERA is horrible. The Reds have had issues pitching as well, but they will have Hunter Greene on the mound in this game, who has allowed one earned run over his last 9.0 innings pitched. I like the Reds to win this game by at least two runs.
