How many games will the Oakland Athletics win in 2020?

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday, July 7 at 7:30 a.m. ET.

Oakland’s projected win total is 32.5 with the Over at -115 and the Under at -105. Thirty-three wins, which is a .550 winning percentage, would put the A’s Under last year’s winning percentage (.599). With a shortened season and a roster that has been proven to win, the urgency will keep them competitive, especially with their pitching staff. Take the OVER 32.5 WINS (-115).

Oakland Athletics’ World Series odds

Oakland is not one of the favorites to win it all, placed in the middle of the pack at +2500. The A’s are consistently good, but have a history of failing in the postseason because they compete with a limited payroll. DO NOT BET the A’s to win it all.

Oakland Athletics’ playoff odds

The A’s are also in the middle of the pack here, with odds of +1200 to win the AL pennant. However, to win the AL West, they are a reasonable +265. The Houston Astros (-182 to win the division) have claimed three consecutive AL West crowns in a row, but are in turmoil following their cheating scandal and manager change. AVOID the A’s to win the AL, but CONSIDER BACKING them to win the AL West at +265.
