Oakland Athletics Betting Preview
The worst team in Major League Baseball last season was the Oakland Athletics. They lost a league-high 112 games and their -339 run differential was the worst in baseball by over 100 runs. This year is not expected to be much better for the A’s, as their front office is more concerned with getting set up in Las Vegas than with winning baseball games.

Key Departures: Tony Kemp, Trevor May, James Kaprielian, Jonah Bride
The A’s made some moves in the offseason, but nothing that is going to make them significantly better or worse in 2024. Wood and Stripling may provide some experience in the rotation, but these are not exactly top-end arms either. At this point, the A’s feel like they are in a holding pattern until they commit to actual improvement.
Offensive Outlook
Unsurprisingly, the Oakland Athletics finished at the bottom of the American League in runs scored last season. Their lineup may not have been Major League Baseball caliber last season and it might not get better this year. The A’s didn’t make any significant additions, as this team appears destined to do a lot of losing in the near future.
Pitching Outlook
Oakland was also the worst pitching team in the American League last season, giving up over 900 runs as a team in 2023. There might be some potential for this staff in the future, as arms like JP Sears could have productive professional careers. But the A’s still have a long way to go to achieve respectability and their pitching staff will not do them many favors for now.
Positives & Negatives
Are there any positives to find in the Oakland Athletics entering the 2024 season? Maybe the fact that nothing is permanent in this life and we will not always be subjected to Athletics baseball is as positive as things will get for this team in 2024. On the flip side, this was the worst offensive and pitching team in baseball last year and doesn’t figure to be better this year, so you can take your pick of the negatives.
Oakland Athletics Pick & Prediction: Over 56.5
Even with all of the problems with the roster of the A’s this year, we are taking the over on their season win total. Oakland won just 50 games last year, but that kind of ineptitude is an anomaly. While they could very well lose 100 games again in 2024, we will take them to avoid losing 106, which would somehow be a step in the right direction for them.
