Washington Nationals vs. Oakland Athletics
Sunday, April 14, 2024 – 04:07 PM ET at Oakland Coliseum
Nationals Expected To Scrape Past Oakland
The Nationals and Athletics have put up seven runs combined in the first two games of the series. Don’t expect much offense in this rubber match of the three-game series today.
That said, the Nationals will send out Trevor Williams, who has a 2-0 record with a 2.61 ERA. He’s certainly pitched better than Alex Wood, who he’ll face today.
Williams has held righties to a .000 ISO and wOBA of .175. He’s also held 41 batters to a .083 ISO and wOBA of .242.
Struggling A’s
The biggest thing about the Athletics is that they struggle to put the ball in play. Since last season, the projected lineup has struck out 25.8% of the time against righties. That’s not ideal and one of the reasons why the offense has struggled to begin the year.
On the other hand, Alex Wood is a left-handed thrower who has allowed a .229 ISO and wOBA of .416 to 41 righties this season.
Washington should fare better, with six righties expected to be in the Washington lineup tonight.
MLB Computer Pick
The Nationals also don’t strike out nearly as much and have some power potential between Lane Thomas and Riley Adams, who are both righties that typically smash lefties.
I’m with the AI Model. Let’s take the Nationals as underdogs in this one. No team should be underdogs against Oakland right now.
