<b>Matchup Analysis:</b><br />
The A’s have been shut out in the first 2 games of this series and have lost 5 in a row, but Cotton has been solid in his 3 starts for the A’s and Lewis has an ERA over 5 in his 2 starts since coming off the DL. Oakland will win today and avoid the sweep.
<b>Jason's Pick:</b> A’s
