San Diego at Oakland

You know you’re not a good road team when you sweep your last opponent, but stand at 9-21 on the road for the season. The struggle is a spillover from a year ago, and the Padres are now 13-34 in their last 47 on the road, so the low number here certainly has some merit on the A's. That is especially true as the Padres wheel out Anthony Bass, who has been a colossal struggle, yielding 19 earned runs in his last 21 innings of work, so the A's should be able to generate a big inning or two. The Padres have really struggled vs. left-hand pitching which has left them at a woeful 14-40 in their last 54 when facing one. The A's have been super as an interleague favorite where they are now a whopping 93-45 in their last 138. Play on Oakland.
