Ross Stripling isn't likely to stick around too long tonight, and our A's vs. Angels predictions are leaning on a shaky Oakland bullpen to collapse.The bottom of the AL West inspires no stories of grandeur, but someone still has to win tonight between the Oakland A’s and the Los Angeles Angels.
Neither should be trusted to last long into tonight’s matchup of the AL West cellar. Stripling hasn't started in two months, returning from a flexor strain in his elbow, and Rosenberg is making his first start of the season. He's appeared just twice this year, throwing 10 innings while giving up seven runs and 12 hits with four walks.
The ensuing bullpen situation isn't good for Oakland. Across the last month, only nine A’s relievers have thrown at least six innings. Of those nine, only three have ERAs below 3.00. Of those three, both Oswaldo Bido and Kyle Muller will be unavailable tonight. Los Angeles has six relievers who have thrown at least eight innings in the last month while enjoying ERAs of 2.03 or lower, and all six might be available tonight.By design, this is a counterintuitive combination. Betting on Rosenberg to last at least five innings runs directly in the face of expecting the first five innings to produce at least five runs, if not half a dozen.
