Oakland Athletics vs Cincinnati Reds 3/1/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

 

The Oakland Athletics will go against the Cincinnati Reds in MLB action in Great American Ball Park, OH, on Wednesday, March 1, 2023, at 4:05 PM ET.

 

The Oakland Athletics were once regarded as one of MLB’s most resilient underdog teams. But it’s obvious that the Athletics are in the midst of an unsightly reconstruction as we approach the 2023 season.

 

It doesn’t appear like things will improve in 2023 after the team had the second-worst record in the league at the end of the 2022 season.

 

The “Moneyball” Athletics were able to defy expectations for a considerable amount of time and make playoff runs with underdog squads.

 

Oakland is simply poor now that the underappreciated talent vanished. You are probably not the only one who was unaware that Seth Brown led the Athletics in home runs in 2022.

 

For the past two seasons, Brown established himself at first base for Oakland, but this isn’t actually because he’s good; rather, it’s because the A’s lack other quality choices.

 

And with Sean Murphy being sold this offseason, Brown is essentially the Athletics’ lone remaining slugger.

 

  • The Oakland Athletics are 3-2 in their previous 5 meetings against the spread.
  • The Oakland Athletics are 47-34 in their road matches against the spread.
  • The totals went OVER in 1 of Athletics’ last 5 matches.

Oakland Athletics vs Cincinnati Reds Predictions 3/1/2023

 

Throughout the past few years, the Cincinnati Reds endured severe difficulties.

 

The likes of Luis Castillo, Sonny Gray, Eugenio Suarez, and Brandon Drury, who were all essential components of previous Reds teams, are no longer there.

 

With this young roster, Joey Votto is the lone veteran who will likely retire as Cincinnati’s first baseman. The Reds did not play in the postseason after 2013, so it might be challenging for them to do so in 2023.

 

The seasoned Reds first baseman, who is considered one of the game’s most fascinating characters, predicted on Instagram on Monday that Cincinnati would open the season 12-2 before things started to become really strange.

 

Votto will begin his 16th season with the Reds; his forecast that they could win the World Series in 2023 may be almost as audacious as the appearance of extraterrestrial life.

 

Cincinnati is currently predicted by Baseball Prospectus to finish 68-94 in 2023, which would be another losing season after the team had 100 losses the previous year.

 

  • The Cincinnati Reds are 3-2 in their previous 5 meetings against the spread.
  • The Cincinnati Reds are 41-39 in their road matches against the spread.
  • The totals went OVER in 2 of the Reds’ previous 5 meetings .

Oakland Athletics vs Cincinnati Reds. The MLB pick for this game is the Oakland Athletics.

 

The Reds’ offense struggled in recent seasons, especially after they made the decision to go on a rebuilding process and let go of its outstanding power hitters.

 

Wil Myers, Jake Fraley, and Joey Votto are now in charge of knocking the ball out of the park since Suarez and Drury are no longer around. Votto is well past his peak, so his 30- to 40-home-run seasons are long gone.

 

Most people anticipate Myers and Fraley to smash 20–30 long balls, but one of them will surprise MLB fans by hitting more than 30 home runs.

 

If Cincinnati’s front staff can find a lucrative deal for the skilled outfielder before the trade deadline, Myers might be moved, increasing the likelihood that Fraley will be the one moved. The Reds will win to a predicted score of 7-4.
