Athletics vs. Rangers Prediction: Tuesday, April 14th

The Athletics’ home games in their hitter-friendly Sacramento ballpark are usually higher-scoring. However, we’re looking in the opposite direction. The pair of starting pitchers in Tuesday night’s matchup should keep both offenses in check. Let’s break it down. 

MacKenzie Gore has looked strong to start the season for the Texas Rangers. The left-hander has a 2.76 ERA and 0.86 WHIP over his first 3 starts, with an impressive 25:5 K:BB ratio across 16.1 innings. Plus, his 2.77 FIP and 2.64 xERA are encouraging that he can keep this going.  

Gore now faces an A’s offense that’s struggling against left-handed pitching this year. They have a .190 batting average, .252 wOBA, and 28.5% strikeout rate in the split (all 27th in MLB). The lineup is more of a threat against righties, but southpaws have mostly had the Athletics’ number. 

On the other side, Jeffrey Springs can limit the Texas offense as well. The Athletics’ lefty boasts a 1.47 ERA and 0.76 WHIP over his first 3 starts. More notably, he’s done that against a trio of dangerous lineups (Yankees, Astros, Blue Jays). The latest outing saw Springs toss 7 scoreless innings against New York. 

The Rangers, meanwhile, have also had issues against left-handers. In the split, they’re hitting just .194 (26th in MLB) with a .245 wOBA (29th) and a 34.5% strikeout rate (30th). The Texas offense also ranks 21st in the league in total runs scored this season. It’s a good spot for Springs to post another solid outing. 

Let’s take the under for the full game and first five innings. Gore and Springs can anchor a lower-scoring contest early on. The Rangers’ relievers also own a 2.43 ERA this year (3rd in MLB), while the Athletics have an average pen as well. 

Blue Jays vs. Brewers Prediction: Tuesday, April 14th

The Milwaukee Brewers are almost in must-win territory tonight. They’ve lost 5 straight games and just got swept at home by the Nationals. This team is bound to get back in the win column, especially after its 8-2 hot start to the season. 

Thankfully for the Brew Crew, tonight’s visitors are also running cold. The Toronto Blue Jays are just 2-8 over their last 10 games, and they’ve lost 4 of 5 series to begin the year. We have an intriguing starting pitching matchup on tap, but it slightly favors Milwaukee at home. 

Jacob Misiorowski toes the rubber for the Brewers. The right-hander owns a 3.31 ERA and 1.04 WHIP through his first 3 outings. He’s also been a strikeout machine, racking up 28 punchouts over 16.1 innings. It’s an encouraging start to the season for a guy who had plenty of highs last year. 

The Miz will face a Toronto lineup that’s struggled a bit against right-handed pitching. Over the past week, the Jays have a .306 wOBA (25th in MLB) and .678 OPS (25th) vs. righties. The offense is also just 26th in the league in total runs scored so far. Misiorowski had a 3.33 FIP at home last year, and he’s already posted two good starts at home to begin this season. 

On the other side, Kevin Gausman starts for the Blue Jays. The veteran righty has a 2.08 ERA and 0.63 WHIP over his first 3 starts. He was nearly unhittable in outings against the Athletics and Rockies. He did have some issues against the Dodgers last week, though, giving up 3 runs with 6 hits and 2 walks allowed.  

It’s a tough matchup, but the Brewers can do just enough against Gausman tonight. Milwaukee boasts a top-5 offense against right-handed pitching, with a .355 wOBA (5th) and 124 wRC+ (4th) on the split thus far. The lineup is also among the top 10 in the majors in runs scored this season.
