The Oakland Athletics will open a quick 2-game set tonight with the St. Louis Cardinals at RingCentral Coliseum. The A’s swept the Cardinals back in June in St. Louis and are expected to face Dakota Hudson, and it won’t be a cake walk because he has been delivering. Hudson is 10-5, with a 3.88 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP. Oakland is expected to counter with Mike Fiers and he has also been on his mark. Fiers is 9-3, with a 3.54 ERA, and a 1.14 WHIP. The A’s are 8-2 in Fiers’ last 10 starts and 4-1 in his last 5 turns at home. I like Oakland in this situation.
TONIGHT’S PICK: OAKLAND ATHLETICS
