Make what you want out of Spring Training, but Shane Bieber has been impressive with a 1.56 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, and 19 Ks in 17 innings this spring. With a fresh bullpen behind him to start the season, I expect Bieber to pitch well against the A's. Bieber has made two road starts in Oakland (2022 & 2023) and has a 2.77 ERA in those games.
Cleveland's issue is that the A's will counter with southpaw Alex Wood. Active Guardians hitters have just a .212 lifetime on-base percentage against him, with no home runs or RBI in 32 at-bats. Cleveland was also dead last season in the MLB in home runs, and Oakland was dead last in runs per game scored when at home.
Regarding trends, the under is 16-1-1 in Bieber's last 18 starts against teams from the American League West!
I'll go under the low total.
