Result: Loss
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Oakland A's.
The visitors hand the ball to the struggling Francisco Liriano (4-8, 5.33 ERA) who was rocked for five runs over four innings in a loss to the Dodgers on Monday, allowing four hits and five walks. Liriano has clearly lost a step this year and has now walked 29 batters in his last seven appearances while also failing to go more than six innings in any of those. Note that Liriano has been particularly horrible on the road this year as well, just 1-4 with an atrocious 6.98 ERA. The home side counters with rookie Daniel Mengden (1-3, 2.81) who has the highly respectable 2.81 ERA and 1.17 during his 25.2 innings of work to open his career. He's also coming in off a stellar and confidence boosting performance on Monday, allowing just two runs off four scattered his over 7.2 innings, having the shutout through seven. Mengden owns an impressive K:BB of 26:9 and 2.92 ERA in front of the home town crowd. We think Mengden has the advantage here, the Pirates have never seen the kid throw, while the book is clearly out on the volatile Liriano. All things considered, we feel that this is the very definition of "great line value." Play on OAKLAND.
