Brewers Continue Strong Season
Milwaukee enters this matchup with a 39-23 overall record and an 18-10 road record. The Brewers have gone 3-2 over their last five games, recently winning over Colorado twice and San Francisco once while dropping two contests against San Francisco.
Milwaukee is batting .248 with 317 runs scored and 516 hits. The Brewers have hit 49 home runs while producing a .337 on-base percentage and a .374 slugging percentage. Their pitching staff owns a 3.25 ERA, a 1.21 WHIP, 215 walks, 599 strikeouts, and a .222 opponent batting average.
Milwaukee's biggest strength is its pitching. The Brewers own the best ERA, the lower WHIP, the fewest opponent hits allowed, and an outstanding .222 opponent batting average. Those numbers have been a major factor in their strong record.
Athletics Searching for Consistency
The Athletics enter the contest at 30-34 overall and 11-17 at home. They have gone 2-3 over their last five games, recently defeating Chicago twice before suffering three consecutive losses.
The Athletics are batting .244 with 268 runs scored and 529 hits. They have hit 70 home runs while posting a .325 on-base percentage and a .392 slugging percentage. Their pitching staff carries a 4.61 ERA, a 1.42 WHIP, 249 walks, 516 strikeouts, and a .256 opponent batting average.
The Athletics hold an advantage in home run production, but their pitching numbers trail Milwaukee across nearly every category. That has made it difficult for them to consistently compete against stronger clubs.
