Alex Kolodziej’s Athletics vs Brewers Preview
A's-Brewers Betting Preview: Over/Under Edge
PRO Report provides a clear indication for the A's–Brewers game on Saturday, particularly focusing on the over/under total set at 8.5, with odds of -105 for the over.
Utilizing PRO Projections, there's a moderate edge leaning toward the over, with the fair number calculated at 8.97.
In Friday's series opener, both offenses started slowly, yet the game still went over the total as the Athletics scratched out two runs in the ninth inning, highlighting the potential for scoring.
The betting market has largely underestimated the Athletics, who have become a formidable "over" team, driven by an unexpected early-season surge in power hitting largely led by Brent Rooker, Shea Langeliers, Tyler Soderstrom and Lawrence Butler.
This trend is reinforced by several PRO signals that have been activated, pointing towards the over as a strong play.
Athletics vs Brewers Prediction, Betting Analysis
Both sharps and significant money flows align with the over as well, suggesting confidence in a high-scoring affair in this second game of the series.
With PRO Report's insights and projections, betting on the over could capitalize on these identified edges, offering bettors an opportunity to get in on a potentially high-scoring game.
Pick: Over 8.5 (-105)
