Today’s matchup is between the Athletics and the Rangers. The Athletics are starting Mike Fiers on the mound who is 3-1 on the season pitching a 5.81 ERA, 6.23 FIP, .365 wOBA, 88.4 MPH average exit velocity & a 1.55 WHIP in 31 innings pitched.
The Rangers are starting Kolby Allard, who is 0-2 with a 7.82 ERA, 3.37 FIP, .367 wOBA, 87.5 MPH average exit velocity & a 1.82 WHIP in 12.2 innings pitched.
On the hitting side the Athletics have a .316 wOBA & the Rangers have a .276 wOBA (Last in MLB). The Athletics have 43 HRs this season while the Rangers have 24 HRs.
Even with a short sample size Kolby Allard of the Rangers is much better than his ERA suggests. With the Athletics being a great hitting team & Mike Fiers due for regression, I like the over in this game.
