Arizona at Oakland

One would think that Arizona would be a much bigger favorite than the current line, but a closer look reveals the Diamondbacks are just 9-8 on the road and 7-19 their past 26 games against AL West opponents. Oakland is 43-18 its past 61 home games with a posted toal of 9.0-10.5 and Arizona has lost the past six meetings at Oakland although they haven't met since 2021. Merrill Kelly lost his last outing while allowing four runs in six innings in a 5-4 loss to Miami on Wednesday and the Diamondback bullpen has the fifth-worst ERA in the majors with only nine saves this season. Take advantage of the home underdog and play the Athletics as a Max Play.
