As the Boston Red Sox visit Sutter Health Park on September 9, 2025, they’re coming off a commanding 7-0 victory in their last game against the Oakland Athletics. This matchup features two teams with contrasting seasons; the Red Sox currently hold a respectable 80-65 record, while the Athletics sit at 66-79, struggling to find consistency. The Red Sox, sitting in a solid position, will look to maintain their momentum against a beleaguered Oakland squad.

The Athletics are projected to send Jeffrey Springs to the mound, who has had an up-and-down year, posting a 10-10 record with a 4.13 ERA. Although Springs is ranked as the 185th best starting pitcher in MLB, he did show some promise in his latest outing, going 6 innings with just 2 earned runs. However, he faces a tough Red Sox lineup that ranks 8th best in MLB overall and 5th in team batting average. Springs’ low strikeout rate (19.4 K%) will be tested against a high-strikeout Red Sox offense, which could play to his advantage.

On the other side, Boston’s Dustin May has had his share of challenges this season as well, with a 7-11 record and a below-average 4.96 ERA. May struggled in his last start, giving up 6 earned runs over just 5 innings. The projections suggest he’s been unlucky, and a rebound performance is certainly possible.

With the Athletics boasting the 7th best offense in MLB and a strong showing in team home runs (ranking 4th), they have the potential to capitalize on the shaky pitching of May. Given the close odds, with both teams sitting at -110 on the moneyline, this game promises to be tightly contested, with both lineups needing to perform up to their potential to secure a win.

Boston Red Sox Insights

• Romy Gonzalez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-110/-120)
  In the last week, Romy Gonzalez’s Barrel% has experienced a negative regression, plummeting from his seasonal rate of 12.8% down to 0%.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
• Boston Red Sox – 2H Moneyline
  The Boston Red Sox bullpen grades out as the 3rd-best in the majors, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.

Athletics Insights

• Athletics – Moneyline (-110)
  The Athletics outfield defense grades out as the 2nd-weakest among all the teams today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Shea Langeliers – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-125/-105)
  Shea Langeliers has seen a sizeable increase in his exit velocity of late; just compare his 98.2-mph average over the last 7 days to his seasonal 90.6-mph mark.
  Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
• Lawrence Butler – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-125/-105)
  Lawrence Butler has a 94th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (37.6%) but may find it hard to clear the game’s 6th-deepest LF fences in today’s matchup.
  Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
