Point Spread: 1.50 | -219.00 Oakland (Away)
Result: Win
This is a 6* BIG-CHALK RUN-LINE DESTRUCTION on the Oakland A's.

We had a play on the A's straight up as a big dog last night and they'd end up losing 7-5. Tonight we're expecting an even closer affair which will once again be decided late or in extra innings and as such, we're going to grab the extra 1.5 runs of insurance:

Sean Manaea: He's 8-5 with a 3.68 ERA. Manaea gave up two earned runs over seven innings in a victory over Cleveland on Sunday. Manaea has now allowed two earned runs or fewer in eight of 11 starts this season (owns a very respectable 3.72 ERA on the road as well.)

Zack Wheeler: He's 3-7 with a 4.98 ERA. Wheeler gave up four runs off seven hits and four walks while striking out five over five innings in a loss to St. Louis on Monday. Note that he owns a poor 2-5, 5.52 record/ERA at home so far this season.

The bottom line: Often the best indicator we have when trying to assess starting pitching is "recent performance" and in this case, there's no question that Manaea has the advantage in that department. Lay the price for the 1.5 runs, play on the A's on the RUN-LINE.
