The Oakland Athletics are back to doing what they do best and that is lose. With last night’s lost to the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field, the A’s have now lost 6 in a row. Cleveland will seek their third straight win tonight when the two teams play the middle game of their 3-game set. The Guardians are expected to unveil their top pitching prospect, flamethrower Gavin Williams. This kid tops over a hundred miles on his fast ball and was mowing them down in AAA. The A’s are a pathetic 10-27 on the road and are expected to send Paul Blackburn to the bump. Blackburn has been battling blisters on his throwing hand which is never good. He is 0-0 with a 3.48 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP. The Guardians are 5-1 in their last 6 home games and have the edge in runs per game, run differential, batting average, and the list goes on.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CLEVELAND GUARDIANS
