In view of his ERA, Oakland starter James Kaprielian might seem worth fading.
However, his ERA is as high as it is primarily because he has suffered a few atrocious outings.
In other words, his ERA should not arouse concern, because it does not reflect a continued difficulty in doing well.
In fact, he has allowed two runs in three of his last four starts.
Kaprielian's strong form will help keep this game low-scoring.
A low-scoring game creates Oakland's only hope of remaining competitive tonight because Oakland ranks 29th in slugging against Astro starter Lance McCullers Jr.'s favorite pitches from righties.
