The Oakland A’s have dominated the Cleveland Indians as of recent as they have won 4 of their last 5 meetings. While Trevor Bauer is the better overall pitcher, I can’t trust him in this game considering his recent troubles. Chris Bassitt isn’t a household name by any means, but he is having a stellar season for the Oakland A’s as he is posting a 1.93 ERA. The Cleveland Indians lack the talent they once had during their World Series run, and the A’s have the better overall player with Khris Davis. Final Score Prediction, Oakland A’s win 5-3.
