Athletics vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction
The Orioles are playing improved ball lately and probably should have the edge at home, but I’m not getting behind Young. He has a 5.88 ERA and 1.67 WHIP on the season and has allowed 17 earned runs in his last 28.2 innings. In 23.2 home innings, Young has a 6.85 ERA and .330 allowed batting average. No, thanks. I’m not a fan of relief pitchers starting, but in 11.1 road innings Perkins has a 0.79 ERA and .111 allowed batting average. Perkins is one of many Athletics who shines outside of Sacramento. Give me the A’s on Saturday.
