Can A’s Pitching Step Up Again?
The A’s haven’t been known for their pitching this season, but they sure stepped up on Saturday giving up only one run, and that was enough for the win. Luis Severino went eight innings giving up three hits and one run. Brent Rooker and Shea Langeliers both hit a home run to help pace the offense.
The A’s are averaging 4.55 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.9 runs per game. The offense is ranked 13th but the pitching is ranked 27th. They need the pitching to be good in this game if they want a chance to come out ahead. Jeffery Springs is getting the start for the A’s and he sits with a 3-1 record and an ERA of 4.50. In his last start, he went five innings, giving up three hits and three runs.
Why the A’s Will Beat the Brewers
- The road team has won five of the Athletics’ last six games.
- The Brewers have lost each of their last four games against the Athletics following a home loss.
- The Athletics have covered the run line in eight of their last nine games against NL Central opponents following a road win.
- The Brewers have failed to cover the run line in six of their last seven day games against American League opponents.
Disappointing Start for the Brewers
It has not been an ideal start to the season for the Brewers, and after the loss on Saturday, they sit only one game above .500. Chad Patrick went six innings, giving up seven hits and two earned runs, but it wasn’t enough with the lack of offense. In the first game of the series the Brewers also gave up three runs, but the offense was able to score five runs in hat game on the way to victory.
The Brewers are averaging 4.85 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.85 runs per game. The offense has been good, but the pitching has been ranked 26th. In this game, they are going to need a strong pitching effort.

- The Brewers have won each of their last four home games against American League opponents following a home loss.
- The Brewers have covered the run line in each of their last four games at American Family Field following a home loss.

Athletics vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction
There is going to be zero quality pitching here. The Brewers offense is averaging 4.85 runs per game, and they are going to put on another offensive show here. Jeffery Springs gets the start for the A’s and although he has a 3-1 record that has been more about the run support he has gotten over the how good he has been. The A’s offense will again go over their season average of 4.55 runs and they will get the job done. Both of the first two games have been under the total but that will change in this game in a big way. Back the over to cash.
