Chris Bassitt is 4-3 with a 3.64 ERA this season while Jack Flaherty is 4-4 with a 4.24 ERA. Chris Bassitt has been about as consistent as it gets for the Athletics starters without Frankie Montas, and he is coming off taking a no-hitter into the sixth inning. Jack Flaherty has been very average this season, he is 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA in his last seven starts. Take the value in the Athletics.
Both of these pitchers, Chris Bassitt and Jack Flaherty, are on the same trajectory, but Bassitt is trending faster, and the Athletics' offense has outperformed the Cardinals' group over the last month. The game is in St. Louis, but my projections see an Oakland win. The Athletics take 57 percent of my computer simulations, and we get them as a solid underdog. Jump on the A's here.
