Oakland won a laugher yesterday 16-2 over San Diego. They are 1-0 on their homestand and 6-2 in their last 8 games. The Padres are 0-1 on their road trip and 2-7 in their past 9 games.

The A’s go for the sweep today as they have a 3-0 edge in the season series. They have an 8-2 lead dating back to 2006.

Kennedy received a no decision in his last start, a 2-1 win over the Dodgers. He went 7 innings and allowed 1 ER for his 5th Q start on the year.

Graveman was a hard-luck 1-0 loser in his last outing. He lasted 8 innings, surrendered the 1 run and struck out 7. It was his 4th Q start of the season.

This will be San Diego’s first look at Graveman.

Free MLB Pick

Oakland’s bats have exploded for 29 runs in their last 4 games and have put 4 or more on the board in 7 of their last 8 games. They face Ian Kennedy who has been pitching better as of late but his historical stats against the A’s batters are poor with the roster hitting .308 with a .744 slugging percentage versus him in 39 at bats. Oakland starter Kendall Graveman is in the best form of the season but his home numbers leave a lot to be desired with an embarrassing 10.54 ERA in 3 starts at O.co Coliseum. It must be noted that he has had just one start at home since April and that was a decent 5 2/3 innings of 3-run ball and he has allowed 3 or less runs in 5 straight starts. The Padres’ bats have gone ice cold hitting .206 in the last 7 days and surpassing 3 runs just once in their last 6 games.
