  • Betting Trends

Today’s matchup is between the Oakland Athletics (33-25) and the Colorado Rockies (23-24). The Athletics have won 2 of their last 5 games & the Rockies have won 3 of their last 5 games.

The Athletics are starting Frankie Montas (RHP), on the mound who is 5-5 on the season pitching a 4.45 ERA, 4.34 FIP, .342 wOBA, K% of 24.0%, BB% of 6.5%, 90.4 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.41 WHIP in 58.2 innings pitched.

The Rockies are starting Jon Gray (RHP), who is 4-5 on the season with a 3.71 ERA, 4.11 FIP, .291 wOBA, K% of 19.5%, BB% of 9.7%, 88.2 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.24 WHIP in 60.2 innings pitched.

The Athletics are 10th in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Rockies are 24th.

On the hitting side, the Athletics have a .315 wOBA and a .313 OBP. The Rockies have a .300 wOBA and a .305 OBP. The Athletics have 73 HRs this season while the Rockies have 50 HRs.

Jon Gray (Rockies) is the better starting pitcher but I don't think the difference between him and Frankie Montas is enough to stop the Athletics bats from getting the win.
