A broken compass is right at least twice a day.
Arrr, mateys! The woeful Oakland Athletics be settin' sail for a treacherous battle... on Wednesday, August 16th, 2023. With a pitiful 33-87 overall record, these scurvy dogs be droppin' more games than a leaky ship... Only a measly 0.275 overall win percentage? Bah, they be needin' a miracle to survive!
But wait, me hearties! The St. Louis Cardinals be waitin' in their home port... With a slightly better 54-66 overall record, they be no match for the mighty Buccaneers of Oakland... They may have a 0.450 overall win percentage, but the Athletics be fightin' back!
In their last 10 games, the Athletics be strugglin' with a dismal 3-7 record... Nothin' but a crew of landlubbers, they are... On the other hand, the Cardinals be showin' some promise with a 6-4 record... They may be a formidable opponent, but the Athletics be hungry for a victory!
SportsBetting3.com be invitin' you to bet on this game, me hearties... But be warned, the odds be stacked against the Athletics. Review the odds below, and may the winds of fortune be with ya!
(Arr, mateys! Will the Athletics be walkin' the plank or will they rise victorious?)
