The Rockies' biggest challenge has been run prevention. Their 5.51 ERA, 1.51 WHIP, and .286 opponent batting average are all the highest figures in this matchup. While the offense has produced a respectable number of hits and runs, the pitching staff has often placed the team in difficult situations.

The Athletics come into this contest with a 33-35 overall record and a 13-18 home record. They have also gone 3-2 over their last five games. The Athletics recently won over Milwaukee by scores of 4-3 and 7-5 and recently defeated Houston by a 5-0 score. Their losses during that stretch came in a 15-14 game against Milwaukee and a 13-2 defeat against Houston.
The Athletics are batting .246 with 298 runs, 572 hits, and 87 home runs. They have produced a .326 on-base percentage and a .409 slugging percentage. On the mound, the Athletics own a 4.62 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP while allowing opponents to hit .257. The pitching staff has accumulated 560 strikeouts and issued 264 walks.
The Athletics' greatest strength is their power production. They have hit 87 home runs compared to Colorado's 64 and also hold advantages in on-base percentage and slugging percentage.

The Athletics' 87 home runs and Colorado's offensive production suggest enough opportunities for runs to push this game over the total.
