Oakland Athletics vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

The Oakland Athletics continue to show they’re one of the worst teams in baseball, and their lack of offense makes them hard to get behind. Brandon Pfaadt isn’t a pitcher I’m running to the window to back, but he’s at his best at home, and he usually gives a good enough showing to give your money a chance. The Arizona Diamondbacks need to take advantage of games like this as they close in on a .500 record. I have little use for the Athletics. Give me the Diamondbacks to take game 3 against the Athletics, simply because they’re the better team.
