The Brewers and the Padres will be wrapping up their series in San Diego today. Left handed Aaron Ashby will be the starter for the Brewers, it is worth noting that Ashby has pitched 14.2 innings out of the BP and 13.2 innings as a starting pitcher with three starts. The lefty owns a 4.71 ERA on the road and a 3.12 FIP with a .327 BABIP; Ashby more than likely will not pitch deep into this game. Yu Darvish is one of the best home pitchers in all of baseball, 1.37 ERA at home this year versus 5.81 on the road. Yu owns a low home WHIP of 0.66 and opponents are only hitting .145 off of him at Petco Park and in nearly 20 innings pitched, Darvish has only given up one walk. The Brewers offense ignited for a little bit but are now back to struggling with their bats over the last three games where they are in the bottom half of the league for scoring. Over the last thirty days the Milwaukee bullpen has been outstanding as they rank in the upper third in the MLB for K/9, HR/9, and FIP. The Padres offense has been underperforming as of late but do see lefties a bit better than they do right handed pitching. Overall, the pitching should prevail. Take under 7.5
The Oakland Athletics and the Seattle Mariners are meeting for an AL West battle. These two teams are towards the bottom of the divisional standings and both teams are starting one of their more reliable starters today. Oakland is 18-27 this season overall while the Mariners are 18-26. Paul Blackburn is starting for the Athletics and has been elite on the road, he owns a 1.37 ERA as the visiting pitcher. On top of a strong ERA, Blackburn has a 0.95 WHIP on the road as well as a 1.91 FIP on the road. Robbie Ray, a left handed pitcher, is starting for Seattle. Ray is not the Cy Young pitcher we saw last season but he has been seeing some positive regression as of late and is a solid home starter while averaging 2.00 less runs at home than he does on the road. Robbie Ray owns a 2.84 FIP on the year, more positive regression should be coming his way. Both of these offenses have been cold as of late and honestly have just struggled all year long. Oakland gets a downtick in production when facing a left handed pitcher. Both bullpens are average but the Mariners BP has struggled a lot at times, so we will be leaving them out of the equation today. Take F5 under 3.5
