(Starting Pitchers: M. Gonzalez vs B. Colon)
Miguel Gonzalez will start today for the Orioles and his 13/12 K/BB ratio really show that he hasn't been pitching well this season. He has a 4.13 ERA, but his advanced stats of 5.83 FIP and 5.55 xFIP tell another different story. Oakland is still #1 in the league on BB% with 11.4%, so their offense will be very patient today and explore Gonzalez's command issues with success.
On the other side, Bartolo Colon has been pitching really well. He has some issues with homeruns here and there, but he has been impressive this season, especially at home. He has very good control, with just one walk issues this season, while posting a 2.42 ERA, 2.80 FIP and 3.44 xFIP. I expect Oakland to take advantage of this clear SP edge in today's game to bounce back and avoid getting swept at home by the Orioles. Therefore, I'll be taking the Athletics today.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 976 Oakland Athletics ML (w/ B. Colon) @ -107 / 1.94 on 5Dimes
