No Limit.
Game 976.
1:05 PM PST/4:05 PM EST.
You may not realize it, but the Oakland Athletics are one of the hottest teams in baseball, riding a five-game win streak. Not only are they just one victory away from reaching a .500 mark, they're also sitting just 1.5 games back in the AL West. At 9-25, which includes a 4-10 away record, the Miami Marlins, own one of the worst records in all of baseball. It's true, a season ago, they swept a three-game series with today's opponent. But these two teams right now are very different from a season ago. Baseball is arguably the streakiest of all the major sports and right now, the A's are streaking. Miami has lost all six of left-hander, Trevor Rogers starts this season. Overall, he is 0-4 with a 4.31 ERA. On the other hand, Oakland has won five of six starts for right-hander, Paul Blackburn, who possesses an overall record of 2-1 with an ERA of 3.34, which includes a 1-0 mark, with an anemic ERA of 1.42 at home. I see Oakland continuing to flex their muscles against a lesser opponent. Take the A's. Thank you.
