Match Details

• Date: 2025-09-28
• Time: 7:05 PM UTC
• Location: Oakland Coliseum

Game Overview

The Oakland Athletics host the Kansas City Royals in a late-season MLB matchup where both teams have been eliminated from playoff contention. The Athletics are slightly below .500 and have shown inconsistent home form, while the Royals are marginally better overall this season. The recent game on this date saw the Royals win 4-2, but historical home advantage favors Oakland.

Key Factors to Consider

• Oakland (76-85) has split their last 10 games 5-5, averaging 3.5 runs per game but allowing about 4.3 runs defensively. Kansas City (81-80) holds a slight edge overall and is motivated to stabilize their record, with Cole Ragans starting and a 5.02 ERA compared to Oakland starter Brady Basso's strong 1.74 ERA.
• Historically, Oakland leads the series with 73 wins to Kansas City's 46, dominated at home with 51 wins versus Royals' 32 on the road. Recent meetings are competitive, but Oakland’s home advantage is significant.
• No major injury reports impacting the starting pitchers or key hitters for either team have been reported, suggesting both sides are near full strength.
• Neutral weather conditions at Oakland Coliseum, no significant travel fatigue for either squad, though the Athletics have a motivating factor with upcoming road games.
• With neither team in playoff contention, motivation may hinge on ending the season positively; Oakland’s home crowd support and desire to improve for next season give them a slight edge.

Odds and Predictions

Predicted Outcome

Oakland Athletics to win on the moneyline, cover the +1.5 run spread, and the total runs to go under 9.5.

Game Overview

The Oakland Athletics host the Houston Astros in a critical late-season MLB matchup at Oakland Coliseum. Oakland is solid at home and recently defeated Houston 5-1, while Houston, fighting for playoff positioning, will rely on ace Framber Valdez to bounce back.

• Time: 5:35 PM UTC
• Location: PNC Park, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Game Overview

The Pittsburgh Pirates host the Oakland Athletics in the final game of their three-game series. Both teams have been eliminated from playoff contention, leading to focus on pride and season momentum.
