Oakland's JP Sears is a left-hander with command, and once he perfects his changeup, he has a real chance to be very successful. His fastball and slider are both playing above average. He has allowed just three runs in 15 2/3 innings over his last three games and seven in 27 frames over his past five. Milwaukee's offense ranks 29th versus lefties over the last 60 days. RHP Freddy Peralta has far better stuff than his numbers indicate. Over the past two years, he has yielded 76 earned runs in 242 2/3 innings for a 2.82 ERA. Oakland's below-average offense is a recipe for success for Peralta.
