The Oakland A's are now four games ahead of the Angels and out of the AL West cellar. The A's lost 112 games a year ago and won just 50 games. We are not out of August yet and the A's have 58 wins. The A's have surprisingly turned into a good team as they are 23-14, and while the bats are not there yet the pitching has held 15 of their last 21 opponents to 4 or fewer runs. The Reds are on a five-game losing streak, and in those five games they produced exactly one run three times. I have to look at the Oakland pitching, and if they hold the Reds to four or less runs, their offense is going to need seven to get this one over the top. I like the UNDER in this one.

The Oakland A's have made some progress after a brutal 112 loss season in 2023. Oakland has even passed the Angels this season, to get out of the AL West basement. Oakland has gotten as good of pitching as any team in the league over their last 20 games. The A's pitching staff has held opposing offenses to four or fewer runs in 15 of their last 20 games. That list now includes the Reds who scored four in a loss in the opening game of this series. The A's offense is not good as they have scored four or fewer runs in nine of their last 12 games. The Reds have played 56% of their home games UNDER the total, and I like this one to fall in line. Make the play UNDER the total.

Cincinnati has won five in a row scoring 33 runs on Texas and Oakland. The offense is 13th in on-base percentage and starter Nick Lodolo makes his second road start after shutting out the Phillies for seven innings (2 walks, 12 Ks) in his other road start. The Reds are 18-10 in interleague games. Oakland is on a 3-20 slide ranked 23rd in runs scored and on-base percentage, plus 22nd in slugging, while the pitching is dead-last (7.86 ERA) allowing the most free passes, as well as is 29th in fielding percentage. Batters are hitting over .310 off starter Ken Waldichuk (7.82 ERA) and the A's bullpen is last with a 6.95 ERA. Oakland is 13-28 at home against losing teams and 20-44 as an underdog of +150 or less. Play Cincinnati.
