The A's Kaprielian (2-6, 6.89 ERA) has been pitching better of late, but the Phillies , with a .912 OPS in the last week are hitting everyone well. The Phillies are running out Sanchez who struggled in his first start this year, and who wasn't effective after the second inning. The Phillies bullpen is struggling as usual with an ERA of over seven in their last five games. The A's, whose surprising winning streak appears to have ended, should manage a few runs today. Let's not forget that Oakland is dead last in runs-allowed this season. Look for the Phillies to continue on their offensive tear and today's total to go over.
