Oakland Athletics
The first quarter of the season has not been very successful for Oakland. Usually this team peaks as summer heats up but I am not sure that is in the cards this year. The pitching just doesn’t look all that great to me. It will help that they now have Matt Olson back. The first baseman has missed most of the season but seems to be getting comfortable again. He has couple of homers in the last week.

Chris Bassitt has been their most effective starter despite the fact that he has struggled with homers – he has already yielded more than he did last season in half the innings. That can be manageable if he is able to maintain his current high strikeout rate. Oakland relievers have a 5-10 record which obviously is not great but they also have the highest WAR in the Majors.
Detroit Tigers
Detroit might have started the season competitive but as it progresses I expect that to be a fond memory. They can’t score and they can’t keep their pitchers healthy (though some of them might have already been broken before they got there). On the offense side I am not seeing it changing any time soon. The one bright spot so far has been second baseman Ronny Rodriguez who leads the team in homers with 6. He had five all of last year in more at bats.

I think this will be the spot for Spencer Turnbull, who has been the most positive thing of the 2019 season so far. He leads the team in ERA and Detroit are 5-3 in his starts. As a young pitcher he does not go deep in games though and the Detroit bullpen is not good, especially lately – 6.00 ERA In the last week. That makes it hard to get behind this team but Oakland is not elite either.
