- Our 20* MLB Saturday Vegas Jackpot is with the Miami Marlins with the money line versus the Oakland A’s at 4:10 pm et.
The Oakland A’s continue to play at a historic pace in terms of futility. After getting shutout by a 4-0 score in Miami in the opening game of their weekend series with the Marlins, they have won only twelve times in their fifty-eight games this season. The A’s are giving up 6.8 runs per game. Manager Mark Kotsay does not have many answers available to him in the pitching staff. The Oakland bullpen has a 6.47 era and a 1.69 whip when pitching on the road. The A’s had lost eleven games in a row before winning two games in a row at home against Atlanta. They have now lost two games in a row again after a 4-2 loss to the Braves that ended that series on Thursday. The A’s have won only nine times this season in their last forty-five games after losing their previous game. Oakland has won only eleven times in their last fifty-one games on the road against winning teams. Kotsay taps Luis Medina as his starting pitcher this afternoon. The right-hander comes off a start where he allowed five runs in 5 1/3 innings at home against Houston last Sunday. He has an 0-4 record with a 6.83 era and a 1.37 whip in five appearances. When has was called up from the minors, he had a 3.86 era and a 1.39 whip in 9 1/3 innings for the A’s triple-a affiliate in Las Vegas. He is only striking out 20.0% of the batters he has faced at the major league level this year. Opposing MLB hitters have a hard-hit rate of 37.2% against him this season. He has allowed three or more earned runs in all five of his appearances for the A’s.
Miami has won five of seven games to push their two record two games above .500. The Marlins have won six of their last eight games at home when the oddsmakers install the over/under from 7 to 8.5. Eury Perez gets the start after pitching five scoreless innings in Los Angeles against the Angels on Sunday. He has a 2-1 record with a 2.84 era and a 1.21 whip in his first four starts in the major leagues. The 20-year-old is one of the brightest young pitching prospects in baseball. The 6’8 right-hander throws over 100 miles per hour and is averaging a strikeout per inning. Like with Edward Cabrera yesterday, facing the A’s will help his numbers. Oakland is averaging only 3.4 runs per game this year. In their last seven games, the A’s are averaging 2.4 runs per game with a .170 batting average, a .270 on-base percentage, and a .256 slugging percentage. Play Miami with the money line.
Good luck - Team Del Genio.
