Chicago White Sox vs Oakland Athletics Predictions 9/29/2020

The Oakland Athletics are on their 3rd postseason in the last 3 years and are hoping to finally make it out of the Wild Card stage. The Athletics were constantly top spot in the American League and never made it out of the top 3 for most of the season. The team doesn’t exactly shine on the offensive side with a team BAA of .225 in 15th place while only making 274 runs this season. But you can never count them out in pitching as they are the 5th best in the league with a team ERA of 3.77. Mark Canha leads the team’s offense with 47 hits, 33 RBIs, and 5 homers while Matt Olson has 42 RBIs and 14 home runs.

Jesus Luzardo will be on the mound for the A’s in the 1st game. He is now 3-2 with a 4.12 ERA and 59 strikeouts this season.

Chicago White Sox vs Oakland Athletics. MLB’s pick for the 1st game is the Oakland Athletics -120. Chicago is a good team but it’s hard to side with them for now since they struggled a lot nearing the end of the regular season. There is no doubt in Chicago’s potential but the A’s have kept it steady recently. The offense is not that strong for Oakland but their bullpen will make up for that big time. The A’s are 8-0 in their last 8 home games versus the White Sox. Oakland will bash Chicago to a predicted score of 7-1.
