The Athletics have lost four of five games, which began with Jeffrey Springs this past Friday taking a loss against the Texas Rangers. Springs did not record a win in five August starts, but expect the Athletics to get off to a good start at the plate. Matthew Liberatore has given up three runs or more in four straight starts, and is coming off allowing his most hits in eight outings. Take the Athletics.

St. Louis faces lefty Jeffrey Springs who owns a 3.66 road ERA and has pitched his best on the road this season but the Cardinals are hitting .301 with a .804 OPS against lefties at home over the last month. However, Springs is in a lot better form than the than Matthew Liberatore who’s allowed three earn runs or more in each of his last four starts. The A’s have been the second-best offensive teams in the majors over the last two months against lefties on the road, hitting .282 with a .853 OPS. The A’s are also the 3rd most profitable teams on the road this season behind the Brewers and Marlins.
