Atlanta comes in on a five-game win streak and they have outscored the opposition 23-5 in that stretch. The Braves send Kyle Wright to the mound, who has a stellar 17-5 record with a 2.85 ERA, a 1.125 WHIP, 43 walks and 150 strikeouts over 154.2 innings of work. Wright has been on fire since late June: in his last 12 starts, Wright is 10-1 with a 2.76 ERA, a 1.187 WHIP, 17 walks and 62 strikeouts over 75 innings of work. Cole Irvin has been solid for the A's this season but the fact remains that Oakland doesn't generate much offense. The A's are dead last in runs per game offensively at home with 2.85 runs per contest. Oakland posts a dismal .205/.273/.315 slash line at the RingCentral Coliseum this season. The Braves should generate enough offense to run their win streak to six and cover the run line as Wright rings up his 18th win of the year.
