On the road this season, the Diamondbacks are hitting just .210, ahead of only Colorado. They will add the DH in the AL park, but that doesn't mean much. Arizona has dropped seven straight series openers and is 6-20 in its past 26 vs. righties. Oakland starts a good one in Chris Bassitt (5-2, 3.53). He 5-0 with a 3.16 ERA and .204 opponents' batting average over his last 10 starts. The Snakes' Jon Duplantier (0-1, 9.35) wasn't very good in Triple-A earlier this year and hasn't been good in two MLB starts. Rather oddly, the A's are 7-0 following a day off and are the only undefeated team in the majors following one. They are scoring 6.4 runs per game following an off day and have a team ERA of 3.25 in them.

Look for Chris Bassitt to dominate at home, where he sports a 2.97 ERA. The A's last seven wins have come by at least two runs, and tonight they host a Diamondbacks team that's dropped 17 straight on the road. Play Oakland on the run line at -115.
