Oakland at Colorado

Oakland is outstanding on the road (18-8) with very good balance. They are #13 in runs scored, Top 10 in on-base percentage and slugging, sixth defensively in the field, and the pitching staff is #14 in team ERA. Oakland has won four straight and is 65-30 versus a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, plus 28-19 as a road dog of +100 to +150. Starter James Kaprielian has been on his game with batters hitting just .190 off him. Meanwhile, Colorado is #25 in fielding and pitching ERA (4.78). The Rockies go with righty German Marquez, who has a 4.33 ERA in Coors Field, walking far too many batters (23 in 43+ innings). With the Rockies 24-45 at home after three consecutive interleague games, back the visitors. Play Oakland.
