Bailey (13-8) earned the win over Houston on Thursday, pitching 5.1 innings and allowing one run on three hits and three walks while striking out four.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey was far from efficient in the outing, tossing 96 pitches and issuing first-pitch strikes to only 10 of 22 batters, but he worked around three walks to pick up a key victory in Oakland's quest to earn a wild-card spot. The 33-year-old has been a steady presence in the rotation since coming over in a trade with Kansas City in mid-July, posting a 6-2 record along with a 4.70 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 54:14 K:BB in 11 starts with the Athletics. Bailey's next outing will be at home against Kansas City on Wednesday.

Bailey allowed two runs on five hits and a walk over 6.1 innings, striking out three in a no-decision versus the Tigers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey was cruising until a two-run homer from Christin Stewart in the seventh inning. The Tigers managed another pair of runs against the bullpen in the eighth, taking Bailey out of the running for a win. The right-hander owns a 4.87 ERA and 1.135 WHIP in 146 innings between the Athletics and Royals this season. His record remains 12-8 entering his next scheduled start, set for Thursday in Houston.

Bailey allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out nine over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against the Yankees on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey didn't make many mistakes, but Gary Sanchez made him pay for the ones he did make, launching solo homers in the second and fifth innings. The veteran entered this game with a 5.52 ERA for Oakland, but with a 1.93 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 18:1 K:BB in his prior three starts. The small sample certainly doesn't override the larger body of statistical evidence, but Bailey is at least in the mix as a desperation option with a home matchup against Detroit on tap for next week.

Bailey (12-8) gave up three runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out three through six innings to earn the win over the Royals on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey overcame extremely humid conditions to deliver a quality start and was the beneficiary of an offensive explosion from the Athletics. The right-hander has a 4.02 ERA in five August starts and has pitched much better than his overall numbers recently. Bailey has a 5.04 ERA and 119 strikeouts this season. Bailey is scheduled to make his next start Saturday at Yankee Stadium.

Bailey (11-8) got the win against the Yankees on Tuesday, giving up one earned run on seven hits over 5.2 innings, striking out eight and walking none in a 6-2 victory for the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

After tossing seven scoreless innings against the Giants in his last start, Bailey followed it up with another gem against a tough Yankees lineup, picking up his 11th win of the season. He got blown up for seven earned against the Cubs on August 7, but Bailey has been on a nice run lately aside from that outing, as his other four appearances since July 27 have all been quality starts. It's still been an erratic season overall for the veteran, however, as he's sporting a 5.06 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 128 innings.

Bailey (10-8) picked up the win Wednesday, giving up two hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings while striking out seven in a 9-5 victory over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

The Oakland bullpen made the game interesting after he left, but Bailey dominated the San Francisco lineup for seven frames, tossing 66 of 91 pitches for strikes and not even allowing a baserunner past second base. The right-hander will take a 5.22 ERA and 108:47 K:BB through 122.1 innings into his next start Tuesday, at home against the Yankees.

Bailey (9-8) took the loss Wednesday as the A's were routed 10-1 by the Cubs, surrendering seven runs on six hits and a walk over 4.2 innings. He failed to strike out a batter.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander kept Chicago off the board through three innings, but then the floodgates opened. Bailey threw 46 of 73 pitches for strikes before being chased, and he'll carry a 5.54 ERA and 101:46 K:BB through 115.1 innings into his next start Aug. 14 in San Francisco.

Bailey threw six innings in a no-decision against the Brewers on Thursday, giving up two earned runs on five hits, striking out five and walking three in a 5-3 win for the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

It was the second straight quality start for Bailey, as he's bounced back nicely since getting shelled for nine earned by the Astros on July 22. The veteran now sports a 5.20 ERA, a 1.45 WHIP and a 101:45 K:BB over 110.2 innings on the season.

Bailey will start Thursday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Though rotation mate Daniel Mengden entered the week ahead of Bailey in the pitching schedule, the Athletics appear set to skip Mengden's turn due to off days Monday and Friday. Bailey will thus return to the rubber Thursday on his normal four days' rest after a strong showing in his most recent outing with the Athletics last weekend versus Texas. He claimed his second win in three turns with Oakland after limiting the Rangers to three runs on seven hits and a walk over 6.2 innings.

Bailey (9-7) pitched 6.2 innings, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out seven to earn the win Saturday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey cruised through the first six innings before getting into trouble in the seventh inning, which nearly cost the Athletics their lead. It was a strong bounce-back effort for Bailey, who was shelled for nine runs in his previous start. The 33-year-old has a 5.33 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 104.2 innings this season. He'll be looking to reach double-digits in wins for the first time since 2013 when he takes on the Cardinals next Saturday.
