Final Thoughts
Both of these teams have had their challenges this season. But the Athletics’ recent run and their pitching advantage with J.T. Ginn make them slight favorites in this matchup. Gallen has not looked like the same pitcher that he’s been in recent seasons. I will take the Athletics to get a win in this matchup and to hand the Diamondbacks their seventh loss in a row.
