Starting Pitching Matchup
Brandon Sproat — RHP, Brewers
- 2026 Season: 6–2, 3.48 ERA, 1.20 WHIP
- Last 5 Starts: 3.12 ERA, 1.17 WHIP
- Profile:
- 97–99 mph fastball
- Power slider + developing changeup
- Generates elite ground‑ball rates
- Matchup Notes: Oakland’s lineup is missing multiple key bats and ranks bottom‑five in MLB in OPS vs high‑velocity RHP. Sproat’s fastball/slider combo is a major mismatch for a young, strikeout‑prone A’s lineup.
Joe Perkins — RHP, Athletics
- 2026 Season: 3–5, 4.66 ERA, 1.34 WHIP
- Last 5 Starts: 5.02 ERA, 1.41 WHIP
- Profile:
- 93–94 mph fastball
- Curveball is his best pitch
- Struggles with command when behind in counts
- Matchup Notes: Brewers’ lineup is disciplined and top‑10 in MLB in walk rate. Perkins’ command issues could lead to early traffic and elevated pitch counts.
