The A&#8217;s are on a 10-game losing streak, losing by an average of 4.7 runs per game in that span. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It won&#8217;t get easier tonight with Sanchez on the mound. He has a 3.10 ERA and a 10.8 K\/9 so far this year, and the Phillies are 7-2 in his starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, the Phillies (33-18) are riding an eight-game win streak overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you think the A&#8217;s might have some semblance of a home-field advantage &#8230; think again. They are 8-18 at Sacramento&#8217;s Sutter Health Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:114129\">Embed: #114129<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"insights\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/baseball\/mlb?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_mlb\">Full MLB betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"insights\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/mlb-injury-report?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=injury_reports\">MLB injury report<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"insights\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/mlb\/top-players\/hitting\/OPS-on-base_plus_slugging?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=stats_pages\">MLB stats &amp; standings<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MLB SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNTc4NzU5JnA9MjM3Njk%3D\">Sanchez over 5.5 Ks (-136)<\/a>:<\/strong> The A&#8217;s don&#8217;t strike out much. That&#8217;s one of the few nice things I can say about them right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have a 19.8% K rate this season, which is the sixth-lowest in MLB. But that vaults to a 22.4 K% when they face lefties (12th-lowest).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sanchez is a three-pitch guy with one elite offering: his changeup. It generates a 49.0% whiff rate, which is the sixth-highest rate for any MLB pitch (minimum 50 plate appearances), per Baseball Savant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The A&#8217;s have the ninth-highest whiff rate on changeups (33.0%), so I could see Sanchez racking up Ks with his preferred out pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sanchez has cashed this bet in six of nine starts this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNTc4NzU5JnA9MjM3Njk%3D\">Wilson 1+ hits (-305)<\/a>:<\/strong> The best story on the A&#8217;s this season might be Wilson, the sixth-overall pick from 2023 who is getting plenty of AL Rookie of the Year buzz right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilson is batting .335, which is fifth in MLB. And his .311 xBA ranks in the 96th percentile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The right-hitting shortstop has been good against lefties and righties, but his contact numbers do trend up when a southpaw is on the mound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facing LHPs this season, Wilson is 12-for-34 (.353) with three doubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His 5.4% K rate is the lowest in the majors. That doesn&#8217;t help our Sanchez prop, but it&#8217;s a great omen for Wilson&#8217;s ability to get the bat on the ball. He also has a very low walk rate (4.9%, 14th percentile).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilson has cashed this bet in 37 of 49 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Phillies vs. A&#8217;s predictions made at 3:06 p.m. ET on 05\/24\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"thestar\">Looking to get started? <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNzQxMyZsPTEzNTI3NDExJnA9MjMyNDM%3D\">Sign up here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The MLB-leading Philadelphia Phillies look to keep the A&#8217;s in the loss column on Saturday night in NorCal.
