Our selection is on the Athletics to defeat the New York Mets on Friday at 10:05pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

New York will start Griffin Canning. He's had an issue with walks this season already allowing more than a walk per two innings.

The Mets got shutout on Wednesday against Miami. They've scored just three runs or less in four of their L5 games.

The Athletics aren't as bad as people think. They've got a really good young team that can beat anyone.

The A's have hit 19 home runs so far which ranks them in the top three of all teams right now.

We're on the Athletics tonight.
