Neither team has anything to play for in this final weekend of the season. However, Mason Barnett is now the starter for the A’s, owning a 7.56 ERA this season. He has progress over his last four starts but has still allowed three runs, or more, in three of those four. Noah Cameron has pitched very well on the road this season, 2.86 ERA, and Kansas City has won three of his four starts in September. He has allowed at least one home run in each of his last seven starts but the Royals have the better bullpen if needed.
