Oakland Athletics vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction: A close matchup in favor of the Reds

On Saturday, MLB action comes from O.co Coliseum as the Cincinnati Reds take on the Oakland Athletics. After sweeping the Rangers in a recent series, Cincinnati is riding high. This week, Oakland faced off against the Los Angeles Angels, where they lost three games in the series.

On Monday, the Oakland Athletics defeated the Los Angeles Angels by a score of 11-10, but then went on to suffer defeats by scores of 11-3 and 5-3 in the next two games. In the final game on Thursday, Oakland battled back from a 5-0 lead early on but ultimately fell short, losing 8-7. JP Sears, the starter, went 4.1 innings, allowing six earned runs on six hits while also walking two batters. After their most recent six games, the Oakland Athletics have only one victory to show for it. They now hold the position of last place in the American League with just 0.192 points after 26 games played so far this season.

In the first game of the series, which took place on Monday, Cincinnati defeated the Rangers by a score of 7-6, and then they won again by the same score on Tuesday. The Reds completed their three-game sweep with a victory in the final game, which they won by a score of 5-3. In that game, starter Graham Ashcraft worked six innings, allowing two earned runs on three hits while also walking four batters. The Reds have played 25 games thus far and have a 0.400 percentile, which places them in the 12th rank in the standings of the National League.

Both teams have not performed up to their potential thus far this season, but we do not believe that the Oakland Athletics will be able to keep up with the Reds here despite the fact that they are playing at home. As a result, we are going to take a chance on the Cincinnati Reds in this instance. In the meantime, we should prepare for a significant number of innings here because we anticipate more offensive sides.
