In the first game of this series, Oakland was thoroughly beaten at home on Monday night. The A’s are now 3-14 on the year, last in the AL West, and 7.5 matches behind the Rangers for first place in the division.

While taking the defeat on the mound, Kyle Muller (0-1) was beaten up. 

 

In an effort to get back on track, James Kaprielian will make his fourth season start for the A’s in this game. In 13.1 innings of action this year, he has a record of 0-2 with a 12.15 ERA, 2.25 WHIP, 12 walks, and 15 strikeouts.

Chicago Cubs vs Oakland Athletics. The MLB pick for this game is the Chicago Cubs. The A’s are still having trouble as they now matched their lowest record as a team after losing their season opener on Monday night.

 

In their 14 games, Oakland lost 10 of them by at least two runs and eight of them by at least four.

 

In his most recent start, Kaprielian was brutalized once more, which is bad news for a Cubs team that produced from every position in their lineup thus far.

 

Bellinger started out well after three losing seasons, while Wisdom and Bellinger were tied for the league lead in home runs as of Tuesday. The Chicago Cubs will win to a predicted score of 8-4.
