Luis Severino makes his first start in almost a month after coming off the IL. Before his injury, the A’s won his last four starts as he’s held his opponent to three runs, or less, in each of those outings. Despite winning three of their last five, St. Louis is only hitting .212 over their last seven days as compared to the A’s .276. Miles Mikolas is off a quality outing against Pittsburgh but still has allowed three runs, or more, in three of his last five starts. These are two teams moving in opposite directions.

Very happy to be on the road (where they've played decently this season) and rid of facing red-hot Texas, the A's seemed to thoroughly enjoy Busch Stadium on Monday when bossing the Redbirds in an 11-3 romp. Tonight the target is Cards starter Miles Mikolas, who has weakened as the season has progressed and just got finished with an August in which his ERA was a sky-high 6.04. Meanwhile, A's starter Luis Severino returns to the mound for the first time since August 6 after straining an oblique, but note the A's had won his last four starts until that point. Play A's on the Money Line.
