The Oakland Athletics and Milwaukee Brewers meet Friday in MLB action at American Family Field. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.

Oakland Athletics Betting Preview

The Oakland Athletics have scored 24 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 5 of their last 10 games. The Athletics have won 4 of their last 6 games when scoring 4 or more runs. Esteury Ruiz leads the Athletics with 64 hits and 25 RBI, while Brent Rooker and Ryan Noda have combined for 92 hits and 59 RBI. Luis Medina gets the ball, and he is 0-5 with a 8.19 ERA and 26 strikeouts this season. This will be Medina’s first career game against the Brewers.

The over is 4-0-1 in Athletics last 5 overall. The under is 6-2-1 in Brewers last 9 overall. The under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Milwaukee and 10-1 in the last 11 meetings.

Randy’s Pick

Another day, another chance to fade the Oakland Athletics. I don’t care that their offense has picked up this week, and they’ve found ways to win games recently. The A’s are still the worst team in baseball, on pace to be one of the worst ever, and no team has lost bettors more money this season. It’s not even close at the moment. Luis Medina has also been a disaster. Give me the Brewers and the RL for max betting value.
