#929/930 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Over 8.5 Runs – Oakland Athletics @ Arizona Diamondbacks, Sunday at 4:10 PM ET - The Athletics were shutout yesterday but scored 16 runs in the 3 games before that and will get back on track today. Instead of facing a tough Zac Gallen, the A's now face a much more hittable Brandon Pfaadt. The Diamondbacks right-hander has allowed 6 homers in his last 4 starts and now let's look at his last 6 starts. In one of them Pfaadt allowed only 1 earned run but in the other 5 starts dating back to late May, Pfaadt allowed 20 earned runs in 31 innings! As for the A's starter here, Luis Medina is expected to take the hill. Medina has allowed at least 4 earned runs in 3 of his last 4 starts. Also, he is now 4-13 with a 5.45 ERA in his career which began last season with Oakland. Even though Arizona scored only 3 runs yesterday, they did have 12 hits. They should pound the A's pitching here but also don't be surprised when Oakland has a much better day at the plate. Pfaadt continues to give up big hits plus the Arizona bullpen has a 4.54 ERA this season which ranks 13th out of the 15 NL teams! Arizona is averaging 5 runs scored per game when at home and, as bad as the Athletics have been this season, their slugging percentage ranks in the middle of the pack in the majors in day games. Look for a surprisingly solid afternoon from the Oakland sticks here given this pitching match-up. Prior to yesterday's low-scoring 3-0 win, 6 of Arizona's last 7 games reached a total of 9 or more runs. Those 6 games averaged 12 runs per game this one might even get into that range as well from the looks of it! Per our computer math model, highest probability is in the 10 to 11 range for runs in this one. Over is the call in this one Sunday afternoon.
