Tampa Bay Rays at Athletics (2026-08-10). Freddy Peralta vs Jacob Lopez at Sutter Health Park.
Starters — Peralta enters with a 5.37 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, and 117.1 innings, with 8.9 K/9, 3.76 BB/9, and 1.46 HR/9. His last three starts were uneven: 3.2 IP and 7 ER on August 4, 4.0 IP and 2 ER on July 26, and 5.1 IP and 7 ER on July 20. The strikeout rate remains solid, but the recent run prevention trend is pointing the wrong way. Lopez has a 5.64 ERA, 1.63 WHIP, and 75.0 innings, with 8.4 K/9, 5.16 BB/9, and 1.56 HR/9. His last three starts have been much sharper: 5.0 IP and 2 ER on August 5, 5.1 IP and 1 ER on July 29, and 5.0 IP and 0 ER on July 24. That gives him a clear upward trend, backed by 21 strikeouts against 7 walks over those outings.
Teams — Tampa Bay brings a .731 OPS and 519 runs, with a .259 team average. The Rays also have the stronger run prevention profile, carrying a 3.68 team ERA and 1.14 WHIP, and they are 8-2 over their last 10 games. Oakland has a .715 OPS and 510 runs with a .243 team average. The Athletics’ pitching staff has been a problem area, posting a 5.41 ERA and 1.50 WHIP, and they are 2-8 over their last 10. The offensive gap is not massive, but Tampa Bay has been the more complete club, especially on the mound and in recent form.
