Oakland at Cleveland

Oakland has won four in a row and climbed within two games of first-place Houston in the AL West. The Athletics have Sean Manaea on the mound tonight, and he has a .198 opponent batting average on the road with a 2.64 road ERA. Manaea lost his last start against the Padres, but he won his previous three while allowing only four runs in 18 1/3 innings. Cleveland beat the Reds on Monday to climb back to .500, but the Indians are eight games out of a wild-card spot while dealing with numerous injuries. Triston McKenzie is 1-5 with a 5.89 ERA and tends to give up big hits at the worst times. Oakland is 50-15 its past 65 games versus AL Central teams, and the Athletics have won 12 of 16 following an off day. Cleveland is 8-19 its past 27 against teams with winning records. Play the Athletics.
