Today's top play of the day is going to be Edward Cabrera no win + Bradford under 2.5 earned runs +102.
Bradford has been great since entering the starting rotation. Rocking a 3.05 ERA and a very respectable 6-3 record with a .93 WHIP. He has been one of the best pitchers in the League at limiting base runners, and only walks 2% of hitters he faces. This A's team is full of power and have been good against lefties this year, but Bradford's 3.55 XERA shows he has not just lucky, but very good at limiting damage. Bradford has a sub 3.90 XFIP to both sides of the plate and should have a nice outing here in Oakland.
Cabrera is next. I think this bet wins multiple different ways. First, Cabrera is going to be facing 7 lefties tonight, he has a 12.2% walk rate against them, which would rank him in the bottom 3% of the league. I could see a scenario where he doesn't even reach the 5 inning threshold. Second, the Twins have a ton of power. Cabrera allows 1.76 homers per 9 innings on the road this season, and should be a tough spot with this Twins team. Lastly, the Twins are in must win mode. At any signs of trouble I expect SWR to be out of the game and bringing in one of the better bullpens in the league.
