DraftKings. Love this spot for Payton Tolle. With Shea Langliers going on the IL and Nick Kurtz on the bench, the Athletics lineup is pretty miserable tonight, with only two hitters above a 92 wRC+ versus lefties. Tolle has been fantastic for the Sox, especially on the road where heтАЩs pitched to a 2.83 ERA. He should acquit himself nicely in the Sutter Health Park bandbox as he largely suppresses hard contact. Aroldis Chapman and Garrett Whitlock are both fully rested behind the Sox lefty tonight. For the AтАЩs, Jack Perkins has really struggled in the hitter-friendly conditions, with a 7.41 ERA. Overall, the AтАЩs have lost 8/9 games in which Perkins has pitched at least four innings.
