Capuano hasn't made it through five innings in either of his two starts since replacing the injured Chase Whitley in the rotation. Capuano 6-14 last twenty team starts during May, and 7.37 ERA with 1.91 WHIP this season. He gave up three runs (two earned) in 4 1/3 innings on Sunday against the Rangers. He is way past his prime and I look for the A's to hit him early.

Athletics ace Sonny Gray has a 1.77 ERA with 1.00 WHIP this season, and 17 strikeouts with 3 walks last three starts. With NY having lost 9 of their last 10 games in this park, we are backing the Oakland A's. 5*
