FanDuel (-122). Gage Jump has been solid for the A’s in his debut season, but he gets a brutal matchup Friday night. The rookie will face the Nationals who boast a league leading .789 OPS against lefties this season. Jump has struggled in the extreme hitting conditions in Sacramento, pitching to a 6.20 ERA, and staying under this line in 4/5 outings. With the bullpen rested, look for a quick hook for the rookie if things get out of hand early.
The A’s don’t score. They’re lost 13 of 14. They haven’t put a crooked number on the scoreboard in five straight. They’ve managed over two runs just one time in their last eight games. Neither team has a bullpen, so starter stamina is an asset here. Nationals RHP Cade Cavalli has gone six-plus innings in three of four and allowed three runs or less in six straight. A’s LHP Gage Jump hasn’t lasted six innings in four straight. Washington’s home OPS and OPS vs. left-handers in July is over 1.000.
