Luis Castillo’s AL Cy Young case is ripe for more padding with a Tuesday date against a hodgepodge of nothingness Athletics lineup.
Luis Castillo’s AL Cy Young case is ripe for more padding with a Tuesday date against a hodgepodge of nothingness Oakland Athletics lineup.
Castillo is springboarding off of two masterful starts — securing back-to-back wins while recording eight strikeouts in both outings and allowing two total earned runs. Since hitting a June rough patch where he endured four consecutive losses, Castillo is 8-1 with his last loss on July 14 in a one-run decision to Detroit.
Castillo’s last four starts have concluded in one-run deficits, but floodgates should open with a Seattle Mariners offense that ranks sixth in wRC+ facing the 25th-ranked A’s. The last and only other time the right-hander faced Oakland this season, he struck out eight hitters and allowed zero earned runs in an 11-2 routing.This A’s lineup has struggled gravely against right-handed pitching in the Coliseum as it’s hitting .209. With that said, Castillo’s modest top-30 percentile in xwOBA should be more than enough to limit high-quality contact off Oakland bats.
