Athletics vs Royals Prediction

The A’s didn’t announce a starting pitcher at the time this article was published, but I’m still going to back them here. Give me the home team in a battle between two teams that have their bags packed already. Also, whoever takes the mound for the Athletics can’t be as bad as Ragans and his 5.02 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. Ragans has also allowed 9 hits and 9 runs in his last 11.2 innings. In 24.2 road innings, Ragans has a 5.11 ERA and .240 allowed batting average. Give me the A’s at home.
