The Athletics will face the Baltimore Orioles on June 7, 2025, with the first pitch scheduled for 7:05 p.m. PST at Sutter Health Park.
Charlie Morton, at 41, should not be in a key role on a championship-contending team. After a disappointing 2024, during which his strikeout numbers declined, his 2025 season has started poorly.
However, he has shown improvement, posting a 1.42 ERA over 12 2/3 innings—albeit against the Cardinals and White Sox—along with a low barrel rate of 5.7% and a significantly reduced walk rate of 5.8%.
The Athletics have struggled recently but maintain a strong offense, ranking fourth in wRC+ over the past two weeks with a .272 batting average and a 9.7% walk rate. Yet, their strikeout rate is alarmingly high at 28.1%.
Luis Severino, on the other hand, has shifted focus from strikeouts to generating fly ball outs, boasting a low barrel rate and no home runs allowed since early April.
His 6.9% walk rate indicates improvement, and he should thrive against the contact-heavy Orioles, who have struggled recently with a .143 Isolated Power.
Concerns remain about Denzel Clarke’s potential absence after a wall collision, but the Athletics’ overall depth will still be advantageous in this matchup.
Take the Athletics to pull off the upset in this one.
