Baltimore Orioles vs Athletics Information

The Baltimore Orioles continue their West Coast road trip Saturday night at 10:05 PM in Sacramento against the Athletics.

Pete Alonso leads Baltimore with a .274 batting average, 32 home runs, and 91 RBIs. Blaze Aledander has been a consistent bat for the Orioles offense this year with a .312 batting average but he has played just 82 games. Gunnar Henderson has been shakey with a .219 batting average but he is second on the roster with 20 home runs this season.

Athletics Preview

The Athletics are batting .245 this season with 585 runs on 1,115 hits. They have posted a .319 OBP and a .402 team slugging percentage, but their pitching has struggled, posting a 5.46 ERA.

Orioles vs Athletics Pitching Matchup

Shane Baz will take the mound Saturday for Baltimore. Baz is 4-14 this season but has a respectable 4.04 ERA across 151.1 innings. Jack Perkins will counter for the Athletics. Perkins is 3-9 with a 6.68 ERA across 90.1 innings.

Orioles vs Athletics Pick

Baltimore has the clear advantage on the mound despite Baz’s poor record. Perkins has struggled throughout the season, and the Orioles have enough power to take advantage of one of baseball’s worst pitching staffs. Look for Baltimore to generate consistent offense and pull away as the game progresses. Take the Orioles to win Saturday night in Sacramento.
