The A&#8217;s will send Ross Stripling to the mound, who holds a 5.143 ERA this season. Facing him will be the Astros&#8217; Spencer Arrighetti, who enters the game with a significantly higher ERA of 8.438. <\/p>\n<p>As of now in the AL West Division of 2024, the Athletics are 11th with a record of 19 wins and 23 losses, a winning percentage of .45, positioned third in the division based on their 4-6 record in divisional games.

They&#8217;ve obtained 5 victories in their last 10 games, including a win in their last outing.
