Athletics vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

I’m on the Diamondbacks in this game. I get the case to be made for either side here, but the Athletics continue to be in a tailspin and while Jeffrey Springs has been better on the road like a lot of Athletics starters, the A’s bats as a whole have not been strong enough to make up for any damages that Springs gives up. Arizona has been finding ways to win in recent starts and I think that the Diamondbacks draw first blood here. Give me Arizona.
