Springs vs Verlander in the Series Finale
After a heartbreaking, tenth inning walk-off loss to the San Francisco Giants, the Athletics will finish off the series today at Oracle Park. Today’s game closes the books on this weekend’s MLB Rivalry Series.
Thirty-two-year-old lefty Jeffrey Springs will take the mound for the A’s today hoping to salvage one game of the series for the team. This year, Springs is 5-3 with a 4.27 ERA over nine starts and 46+ innings. Springs will go up against the 42-year-old future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander for the Giants. Verlander’s numbers for 2025 don’t reflect his career stats. This year he’s 0-3 with a 4.31 ERA during his nine starts. This should be a fun matchup to watch.
Verlander will face this lineup for Mark Kotsay’s A’s today:
Springs will go up against this lineup from former A’s skipper Bob Melvin:
