Orioles vs Athletics MLB Betting Preview
37-year-old right-hander Chris Bassitt is set to take the mound for the Orioles on Sunday afternoon as Baltimore prepares to square off with the Athletics at their temporary Triple-AAA home at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento.
Bassitt has struggled this season across his 74 innings (4.74 ERA, 1.55 WHIP), and I feel like he’s in for another tough outing in the hitter’s paradise that is Sutter Health.
Orioles vs Athletics Pick, Betting Analysis
I think Lawrence Butler has a great matchup against Bassitt and is poised to take advantage.
Despite a tough start to the season, Butler has started to find his stride at the plate, having recorded a hit in 14 of his past 15 games.
There’s also the classic lefty-on-righty matchup issue for Bassitt — he’s allowed a .405 wOBA to Southpaws this season, while Butler has a whopping .983 OPS and 171 wRC+ against right-handed pitching in the month of August.
Even better, Butler is 4-for-9 lifetime off Bassitt with a whopping 99 MPH average exit velocity on batted balls.
I expect a massive day for Law Dog on Saturday and am betting him every which way.
Picks:
- Lawrence Butler Over 1.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs
