Athletics vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
This is a spot where I like the over more than the side. The Diamondbacks are hot offensively at the moment, and the Athletics lineup is too talented to stay in this fun. Springs has been awful through 97.2 innings with a 6.08 ERA and 1.42 WHIP. Bratt is a rookie with just 6 MLB innings under his belt, and he has a 6.00 ERA and 1.67 WHIP. Neither pitcher is scaring anybody. Both lineups can provide in favorable matchups. Expect some fireworks. Give me the over.
