How to watch Athletics games

National networks usually announce their picks a few days out, and in the postseason MLB often sets the Athletics channel only when the previous round ends.

Road

32-49

Across 162 games the Athletics scored 699 times and allowed 937 runs, a run differential of -238. That works out to 4.31 runs scored and 5.78 allowed per game, against a league average of 4.48 for each side. Based on those runs, a typical team would have won about 60 games, so the Athletics finished 4 wins above that mark. That is close enough to say the Athletics record reflects how well they actually played.

At home the Athletics went 32-49, on the road 32-49. The Athletics home and road records sit close together, which is normal for an MLB club. Against left-handed starters they were 21-34, against right-handers 43-64, and they closed the regular season 3-7 over the last ten games, ending on a 2-game losing streak.

Recent form: the last 10 games

In their last 10 regular-season games the Athletics went 3-7, scoring 3.9 and allowing 7.2 runs per game. 8 of those 10 games finished above 9 total runs, 2 were decided by a single run, and the widest margin was 13-2 at home against HOU. The chart plots each of those Athletics games, runs scored above the line and runs allowed below it.

The Athletics in the first inning

The first inning stayed scoreless in 46.3% of Athletics games, compared with 49.4% across the league. The Athletics scored in the first inning 27.8% of the time and allowed a first-inning run in 35.8% of games. That is close to the league norm. The NRFI Lab puts the Athletics next to every other team and starter on the same split.

How to read the Athletics numbers

Reading these Athletics numbers before a game: the run differential and expected wins say more about team quality than the raw record, the home and road split shows how much Sutter Health Park helps, and the last-ten totals show whether recent Athletics games have run high or low. For Athletics totals, the over/under guide explains the market step by step, and the odds calculator turns any price into an implied probability. None of these Athletics figures predicts a single game, and no bet is ever a sure thing.

Sutter Health Park, home of the Athletics

The Athletics play their home games at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, CA, at an elevation of 24 feet. Games there averaged 11.43 total runs, an index of 1.28 against the league average, so Sutter Health Park plays as a hitters' park. At Sutter Health Park, wind direction and temperature change how far the ball carries, so the game-day forecast matters. The ballpark scoring page ranks all 30 parks.
