“Pitching Showdown Awaits: Can the Cubs and A’s Defy Expectations in a Thrilling Low-Scoring Duel?”

The Athletics are playing in Sacramento, and it just feels weird. I guess I shouldn’t care because I live in Chicago so I won’t go to an Oakland game anyway, but it is funny seeing a baseball team like Cher or Madonna – just one name. The Chicago Cubs vs. Athletics, that’s how it is listed and I think it is wild. In any case, the team is hoping to make a little bit of noise no matter where they play. Right now they are 2-3 for the year. They took two games from the Mariners in the season’s opening series, but looked really bad at their new “home” in the first game. They are putting Luis Severino on the hill today and he had a gem of a debut for the Athletics, going six innings and allowing just three hits while striking out six. He did allow four walks, so that is something to pay close attention to. He’s been really good against the Cubs in the past with just seven hits allowed in 51 at-bats against him.
