Game outlook

On Friday, August 1, 2025, the Arizona Diamondbacks (51-58; 54-50-5 O/U) will face the Athletics (48-63; 56-48-7 O/U) in the opener of a three-game interleague series at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, CA.

Spread: Diamondbacks +1.5 (-176) | Athletics -1.5 (+155)

Total: Over/Under 10 (-110)

Based on the moneyline, the implied probability that Oakland will win straight-up is 56%.

Arizona Diamondbacks

The Arizona Diamondbacks have been struggling, winning only one of their last nine games and getting swept in a recent series against the Detroit Tigers. They are currently nine games behind the bottom wild card spot in the National League and have made some trades, including sending Eugenio Suarez to the Seattle Mariners. Merrill Kelly is set to pitch in the upcoming game, despite being involved in trade rumors. Kelly has had a strong season so far with a 3.22 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 22 starts. He has only allowed six runs in his last four starts and has a positive record against the upcoming opponent, the Athletics.

Oakland Athletics

The Oakland Athletics have been performing well lately, winning six out of their last seven games, including a sweep against the Houston Astros and a series victory against the Seattle Mariners. Despite their recent success, they made a trade at the deadline, sending their closer and starting pitcher to the San Diego Padres in exchange for top prospects, including highly touted shortstop Leodalis De Vries. With a 10-game deficit in the wild card race, the Athletics have little to play for but continue to compete. Jacob Lopez is slated to start Friday's game, boasting a 3-6 record with a 4.29 ERA this season. He has never faced the Diamondbacks before but has a solid track record in interleague play.

Jacob Lopez's Strong Pitching Performance Sets Stage for Likely Athletics Victory

Jacob Lopez demonstrated strong pitching in his previous performance, allowing only two hits and four walks over 4.1 scoreless innings against the Astros. Given the Diamondbacks' struggles against left-handed pitchers post-All-Star break, with a .613 OPS and 72 wRC+ in 169 plate appearances, Lopez should find success in this upcoming matchup. In contrast, the Athletics have shown proficiency against right-handed pitchers post-All-Star break, boasting a .819 OPS and 120 wRC+ in 377 plate appearances. Over the last seven days, the Athletics have excelled even further, hitting .290/.351/.565 with a 147 wRC+ against right-handed pitchers. Based on these statistics, my prediction is for the Athletics to emerge victorious in this contest.
