Oakland is in the cellar of the AL West for a reason: they are 29th in the majors in runs per game (3.19) and stand dead last in runs per game at home (2.52) this season. There's no such thing as home-field advantage for the A's, as Kaprelian (0-2, 7.41 ERA, 1.471 WHIP, seven BB, 11 K, 5 HR allowed in 17 innings over four starts) has found out. Seattle, even with their struggles against the Angels over the weekend, should muster up enough firepower to earn a victory here over the lowly A's.
