Cubs vs. Athletics Odds & Betting Predictions - April 2, 2025

3.07 ERA vs 3.18 ERA – both starters locked in. Steele had a ridiculous 0.81 ERA vs AL teams last year. Severino held teams to ≤3 ER in 15 of 19 starts. Both average 9+ K/9, sub-1.15 WHIP. No major injuries. Lineups mostly cold outside of Cubs’ recent outburst. Athletics offense ranks bottom 5 in xwOBA. Sutter Health Park suppresses offense – park factor: 79 for runs, 86 for HRs, both well below league average (100). April weather in Sacramento = 18 km/h winds + cool temps around 60s°F. That’s flyout city. Ball doesn’t carry, especially with night-time marine layer. Right field plays deep, limits pull power. Both teams just wrapped a 21-run game, but that was vs weaker arms. Tonight’s matchup leans all pitching. No back-to-back fatigue. Cubs 2-4, A’s 2-2, early form suggests inconsistent bats, especially for OAK. Cubs bullpen rested after blowout, big plus.
