These figures suggest that they've been successful in getting players on base and creating scoring opportunities. Additionally, their slugging percentage (SLG) stands at .417, indicating their ability to hit for extra bases.


On the pitching side, while there's room for improvement given an earned run average (ERA) of 7.00 from their overall pitching staff and a slightly higher ERA of 10.8 from their starters specifically, it's clear that when it comes to offense, Athletics can hold their own.


The venue for this matchup could play a significant role as well; American Family Fields of Phoenix is known for its hitter-friendly environment which might tilt the scales even more in favor of Athletics' potent offense.
