Miami’s lineup is patient and can exploit Perkins’ occasional command lapses. Oakland’s wind‑in conditions help Perkins, but Miami’s contact hitters match well against his sinker.
Advantage: Marlins (slightly)
Athletics Lineup vs. Trevor Phillips
Oakland’s young bats have power, but Phillips’ strikeout ability and the Coliseum’s pitcher‑friendly environment limit their upside.
Advantage: Marlins
