The Athletics are coming into this game with a 20-36 record overall and they are 13-13 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 9 of their last 10 games and are coming into this one on a 6 game losing streak. They just lost their 3-game series against the Boston Red Sox getting swept 3-0, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series opener of a 2-game series with the Braves on Tuesday. This will be the 1st game of the series on Tuesday. Frankie Montas was the starting pitcher for them on Sunday while Cole Irvin will be on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 2-2 with a 2.96 ERA this season. His team lost their last 4 straight games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 1 ER, 0 HRs, and 2 BB with 2 Ks on 6 hits in 5.2 IP against the Houston Astros. They scored 4 runs in their last series averaging just over 1 run scored per game in that span and they allowed 20 runs against them averaging just under 7 runs allowed per game.

 

The Braves are coming into this game with a 28-27 record overall and they are 14-14 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 5 game winning streak. They just won their 4-game series against the Colorado Rockies 4-0 completing the sweep, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series opener of a 2-game series with the Athletics on Tuesday. This will be the 1st game of the series on Tuesday. Charlie Morton was the starting pitcher for them on Sunday while Kyle Wright will be on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 5-3 with a 2.41 ERA this season. His team won 2 of their last 3 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 0 earned runs, 0 homers, and 5 BB with 5 strikeouts on 3 hits in 6 innings played against the Arizona Diamondbacks. They scored 30 runs in their last series averaging just under 8 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 16 runs against them averaging 4 runs allowed per game.

 

The Braves are coming into this game as a big favorite with the current betting odds. They have been playing very well recently as they have put together a big win streak and have been crushing the ball in those games as well. They are finally getting back to the form that won them the World Series last season and they will be a tough team to stop at home here. They are going up against an A's team that has not been playing very well recently and only has 1 win in their last 9 matches. They have Irvin on the mound here and he has been pitching much better after a rough start to the season but Wright is on the mound for the Braves and he has been pitching great all season, and a lot more consistently. The Braves are really heating up now and they are a very tough team to stop between their pitching and their bats when they are really heating up. They will win this game at home and this series as the A's will keep on their slump here. The best bet here is on the Braves to win this game on the runline.
