MLB:

Arizona Diamondbacks @ Oakland Athletics 10:05pm EST

The Athletics and Diamondbacks matchup sets up well for a high-scoring affair, with both teams expected to push the total over 10 runs and Oakland likely to go over their 4.5 team total. Arizona starter Zac Gallen has been inconsistent in 2025, carrying a high ERA and WHIP, making him vulnerable against a surging A’s lineup. Oakland’s offense, led by power bats like Brent Rooker and Tyler Soderstrom, has shown the ability to capitalize on weak pitching, especially at home. On the other side, the Diamondbacks bring a dangerous lineup featuring Ketel Marte and Eugenio Suárez, capable of putting up big innings against a shaky Athletics bullpen. Oakland’s pitching staff ranks near the bottom of the league in ERA and home runs allowed, which bodes well for a Diamondbacks offense that’s above league average in wRC+. Recent trends and simulations project a total near 11 runs, supporting the over. Historical data also shows both teams have consistently produced high-run games, especially in interleague matchups. With poor pitching and red-hot hitters on both sides, expect plenty of offense, with the Athletics clearing their 4.5 team total in the process.
