Athletics at Cincinnati Reds (2026-08-04). J.T. Ginn vs Brady Singer at Great American Ball Park.
Starters — J.T. Ginn enters with a 3.46 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 109.1 innings, backed by 8.23 K/9, 4.03 BB/9, and 1.07 HR/9. His last three starts were uneven but the overall trend is up: 6.1 IP, 0 ER, 7 K, 3 BB; 4.1 IP, 8 ER, 7 K, 3 BB; and 4.0 IP, 2 ER, 4 K, 2 BB. Brady Singer has a 4.35 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, and 107.2 innings with 7.61 K/9, 3.01 BB/9, and 1.76 HR/9. His last three starts were 4.1 IP, 0 ER, 3 K, 4 BB; 6.2 IP, 3 ER, 6 K, 1 BB; and 7.0 IP, 2 ER, 6 K, 0 BB. The listed trend is down, although the recent run prevention has been steadier than the season line.
Teams — Oakland brings a .722 OPS, 487 runs, and a .245 team average, which is the stronger offensive profile in this matchup. The concern for bettors is the supporting staff behind Ginn: the Athletics carry a 5.42 team ERA and 1.50 team WHIP, and they are just 2-8 over their last 10 games. Cincinnati has a .708 OPS, 462 runs, and a .230 average, so the lineup has been less productive overall, but the pitching staff has been clearly better with a 4.41 ERA and 1.41 WHIP. The Reds are also in better recent form at 6-4 over their last 10, which matters when comparing bullpen support and game-state stability.
