Athletics at Minnesota Twins (2026-07-25). Brady Basso vs Mike Paredes at Target Field.
Starters — Brady Basso has a 6.48 ERA and 1.92 WHIP across 8.1 innings, with 7.56 K/9, 2.16 BB/9, and 1.08 HR/9. His last three appearances were all scoreless: 1.0 IP, 0 ER on July 21; 2.0 IP, 0 ER with 3 K on July 19; and 1.0 IP, 0 ER with 2 K on July 17. The recent form points to a downward trend in run prevention after a rough overall sample, though the workload remains very limited. Mike Paredes carries a 4.72 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in 34.1 innings, with 4.98 K/9, 3.41 BB/9, and 1.57 HR/9. His last three starts were 3.0 IP, 2 ER on July 21; 2.0 IP, 1 ER with 4 K on July 18; and 4.0 IP, 3 ER on July 3. The trend is flat, with modest strikeout output overall and some home run risk.
Teams — Oakland enters with a .730 OPS, 460 runs scored, a .247 team average, and a 5.34 team ERA with a 1.49 WHIP. The Athletics are 3-7 over their last 10 games, so the offense has been playable on the season but the pitching staff has been a clear issue. Minnesota owns a .728 OPS, 498 runs scored, and a .245 team average, with a 4.69 team ERA and 1.39 WHIP. The Twins are 5-5 in their last 10, and their profile is slightly more balanced, with a small edge in run production and better overall pitching indicators.
