The Oakland Athletics have come out of the All-Star break all guns blazing, and I think they'll put another beating on the Chicago White Sox here in the finale of this three-game series Sunday afternoon.

Reynaldo Lopez (4-8, 6.34 ERA) will toe the slab for the White Sox. He has allowed at least three runs in each of his last four starts and was tagged with six on nine hits in an 11-5 loss to Detroit last time out. The Athletics are 16-5 in their last 21 games vs. a right-handed starter.

The A's turn to left-hander Brett Anderson (9-5, 3.86 ERA) who has held four of his last five opponents to two or fewer runs. The A's have won five of his last six starts and seven of his last nine. The White Sox are 2-6 in their last 8 road games vs. a left-handed starter and the A's are 14-3 in Anderson's last 17 home starts vs. a team with a losing record.

Oakland has outscored Chicago 18-3 through the first two games of the series. This looks like it will be another blowout win for the home team.
