The Oakland Athletics will go for a series win over the Baltimore Orioles today when the two clubs wrap up their 4-game set at the Coliseum. Runs have been hard to come by in the first three games so we will give the edge to the A’s in this one. The expected starter for Oakland is Paul Blackburn and he has been delivering. Blackburn is 1-0 with an ERA of only 1.80 and a nasty WHIP of 0.90 in 10 innings of work. On the flip side, Tyler Wells is expected to take the hill for Baltimore. Wells comes in at 0-1 with an elevated 6.35 ERA and a 1.76 WHIP in 5.2 innings of work. The A’s are 4-0 in their last 4 following a loss and should be able to get to Wells today.
