This is a rare occasion where the A’s are a team we will advise betting on this season. They will be sending Paul Blackburn to the mound and he was their one competent pitcher last season. Lefties held a .145 xISO/.339 xwOBA off him and righties held a .144/.308 line themselves. He should be able to manage his way through the order for Oakland just fine this afternoon and that will be more than enough given the matchup on the other side.
Carlos “Cookie” Carrasco will be serving up some freshly baked cookies to A’s hitters this afternoon. Lefties held a .210/.401 line off him last year and righties held a .225/.378 line. Righties pulverized his fastball in particular with a .349/.467 line off of it. That is a very bad situation for him as Gelof (.385/.400), Rooker (.285/.359), and Langeliers (.380/.366) crush it from the right side while Bleday (.316/.435) and Butler (.245 xISO) mash it from the left side. Everything points in one direction here. Lock in the A’s!
