Philadelphia won Friday's game 9-5 and Oakland will turn to Cole Irvin to get its first win of the season. Only two Phillies batters have ever faced faced Irvin, who had five starts last April and had a 3.87 ERA. Irvin is known for pitching to contact and with a lot of changups and sliders. Kyle Gibson goes for Philadelphia and he had a bloated 5.04 ERA with the Phillies after being acquired from Texas in 2021. Gibson faced the Athletics once last year and gave up two runs on five hits in five innings. The Phillies are 8-17 their past 25 interleague games as favorites and 5-13 against AL West teams. We're getting good value with the underdog in this matchup and play the Athletics.
