Oakland A’s Recap

The Oakland A’s will try to keep the ball rolling after a solid offensive showing against the Diamondbacks in Friday’s series opener. It was a much needed offensive outburst for the A’s after series losses to the Angels and Twins over the last week.

JJ Bleday has a team-high 22 doubles, 3 triples, 74 hits and 29 RBIs and Toro has a .260 batting average.

Oakland Athletics vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

I’m on the Diamondbacks here. It will be interesting to see who the Diamondbacks send out for a start here, but I think that the Diamondbacks are simply the better team here and I think there’s some regression looming for Hogan Harris. The A’s aren’t a team necessarily known for stringing solid offensive showings together, and I think that the Diamondbacks get some revenge on Saturday. Give me Arizona in this one.
