Analysis
*4 Star Play Under* The Oakland A's offense is just terrible. Oakland has scored two runs or fewer in 12 of their last 14 games. Oakland is decent against left handed pitching, but they are awful against right handed pitching. No other team is even close to as weak as Oakland's lineup against right handed pitching.
Eury Perez is a very highly touted prospect for the Marlins. He's a tall right hander with overpowering stuff who should rack up the strikeouts in the big leagues in his career. Perez gets a favorable matchup here.
Medina starts for the A's here. While his numbers aren't good thus far, he has pitched pretty well in the minors as well. He has a small sample size in the majors and was hit hard by the Astros and Angels, two very good lineups who are clearly several notches better than the Miami lineup.
Doug Eddings is the home plate umpire here. He is clearly a top two or three under umpire. His called strikes rate and strikeout/walk rate are consistently among the very highest in the majors. He should help both pitchers here.
Take the under.
