Free MLB Pick
The Athletics’ starter Chris Bassitt has pitched well in five starts since returning in June, but Oakland hasn’t given him much run support leaving him with a 0-4 record with four of the five starts going UNDER the total. The Athletics are unlikely to turn it around today as they’ve shown zero signs of getting out this downturn in scoring tallying two or less runs in four of their last five. They face Miguel Gonzalez today who doesn’t have the beast overall numbers on the road, but he has held the opposition to two or fewer runs in three straight road starts getting the Q start in two of the outings. He does have solid historical stats against Oakland’s active roster holding the six batters who have faced him to a career combined batting average of .162.
