The Atlanta Braves have their daggers out and are looking for a sweep of the Oakland Athletics in an early one at the Coliseum today. Not so fast. The leftie Sean Manaea will take the hill for the A’s and he has been delivering. Manaea is 7-4 on the season, with an ERA of 3.87, and a WHIP of 1.22. Oakland is 7-1 in Manaea’s last 8 starts and 4-1 in his last 5 home starts. Counter that with Atlanta’s Julio Teherán. Teherán is 6-6 on the season, with an ERA of 5.30, and a WHIP of 1.44. Atlanta has struggled on the road against southpaws, going 12-30 in their last 42. Edge Oakland.
Today’s Pick:
Oakland Athletics
