Oakland Athletics

The Oakland Athletics are currently at the bottom of the AL West and will not be making the playoffs for the fifth consecutive year. Despite this, the team has shown improvement in their recent performance. They have won three of their previous five series and are 9-5 in their last 14 games. In their recent road games, they swept the Minnesota Twins but lost two out of three against the Seattle Mariners. During this six-game stretch, the Athletics scored 26 runs with a .215/.297/.368 triple-slash, while their bullpen has an impressive 1.80 ERA, 0.80 WHIP, and .172 batting average against in 25 innings of work. Due to an injury, Jack Perkins is unavailable for the upcoming game, so the Athletics may call someone up or have a bullpen day. Osvaldo Bido is a potential option for a spot start, as he has recently performed well in relief.

Tigers set to capitalize on Athletics' bullpen fatigue in Tuesday night's game at Sutter Health Park

Charlie Morton has shown improvement in his recent starts, demonstrating his ability to limit runs and hits. Despite the Athletics bullpen performing well in the past week, the high number of innings thrown may result in fatigue for some pitchers. This may give the Tigers an advantage, especially considering their strong performance at the plate, with a higher wRC+ against both right-handed and left-handed pitchers compared to the A's. Based on these factors, the Tigers appear to have an edge in Tuesday night's game against the Athletics at Sutter Health Park.
