Cincinnati Reds vs Athletics Picks and Prediction for Saturday, September 13th, 2025
Reds Preview
Hunter Greene and the Cincinnati Reds head west to Sutter Health Park to take on the Oakland Athletics in a matchup that could help keep playoff hopes alive. Get our free MLB Picks all season long! Cincinnati sits just above .500 and needs every win down the stretch to stay in the Wild Card hunt, making this start from Greene critical.
Greene brings a 6-4 record with a 2.59 ERA and electric stuff that’s overwhelmed hitters all year. His 113 strikeouts in just over 90 innings are a testament to his swing-and-miss arsenal. With elite velocity and a sharp slider, he’ll look to set the tone early and quiet any momentum from the home dugout.
Athletics Preview
Luis Severino gets the nod for Oakland, and he’s had a rough year. With an ERA near 4.70 and control issues creeping in during long innings, he’ll need to work carefully against a lineup that thrives on mistake pitches. Elly De La Cruz and Will Benson are both healthy and expected to start, giving Cincinnati an edge in speed and power.
Both bullpens have been shaky at times, but Cincinnati’s has shown more late-game stability in recent outings. If Greene can hand off a lead, odds are good it holds. The Athletics’ defense has been inconsistent, and that could be a difference-maker if the game gets tight.
