Game Totals Pick
Under 8.0(-115)

The Athletics travel to face the New York Mets in a matchup that profiles as a lower scoring game, driven by pitching form and strong early season trends. The Athletics turn to J.T. Ginn, who enters with a 5.14 ERA in limited 2026 action and a 4.87 career ERA, showing flashes but struggling to consistently limit damage at the major league level. While his ground ball ability offers some upside, this is a difficult road matchup against a Mets lineup that has been steady early. New York counters with Clay Holmes, who has been excellent to start the season, entering 2-0 with a 1.42 ERA and 0.95 WHIP across 12.2 innings. His command and ability to induce weak contact have helped anchor a Mets pitching staff that has been among the more reliable units early in the year.

Offensively, neither team has been overly explosive, which further supports a lower total. The Mets hold a slight edge, hitting .243 with a .317 OBP compared to the Athletics’ .227 average and .292 OBP, but both lineups have lacked consistent power production. More importantly, this matchup aligns with a strong situational trend: Athletics games are 7-2 to the under when listed as underdogs and 7-1 to the under in road games. Combined with Holmes’ current form and the Mets’ overall pitching advantage, scoring opportunities could be limited throughout. Even if New York controls the game, the Athletics’ offensive inconsistency and these broader trends point toward a more controlled pace. With both teams leaning on pitching and neither offense fully clicking, this game sets up well to stay under the total.
