Kansas city at Oakland A's....
LHP Mike Minor makes his 13th start for the Royals. Minor is 4-3 with a 4.84 ERA (67 IP, 36 ER).... Last outing: Loss, 5-4, in 7 IP with 5 ER, 7 H, 1 BB and 5 K vs. the Minnesota Twins Saturday.... Kansas City’s pitching hasn’t been good. Opponents have a .247 batting average against the Royals, which is 22nd in the league. Their 4.49 ERA is 21st, while their 1.39 WHIP is 26th.
RHP Frankie Montas is on the hill for the Athletics. Montas is 6-5 with a 4.52 ERA (63 2/3 IP, 32 ER).... Last outing: Win, 9-5, in 5 IP with 3 ER, 6 H, 1 BB and 2 K at the Colorado Rockies Friday.... Oakland’s pitching has been better than the team’s offense. Opponents have a .250 batting average against Athletics, which is 25th in the league. Their 3.94 ERA is 13th, while their 1.27 WHIP is 12th.
Oakland’s lineup stack ranks a lot higher in advanced hitting metrics such as wRC+ and wOBA vs. left-handed pitching than Kansas City’s against righties.
In fact, the Athletics dominate left-handed pitching; they are fifth in wRC+ and ninth in wOBA when facing lefties with a 16-8 record vs. left-handed starters.
Also, Oakland’s bullpen is a little sharper and way more rested than Kansas City’s who has six relievers that have pitched 24 or more pitches over the past three days while the Athletics have just one.
Montas’ advanced pitching numbers are far better against Kansas City’s lineup than Minor’s vs. Oakland.
