Kansas City vs Oakland -145 O/U 8
Ok, here is one where I like the price of the favorite. Oakland has Frankie Montas out there with a mediocre 4.24 FIP but a nice 9.19 Ks per 9 innings against Kansas City’s Mike Minor who has a similar 4.22 FIP and a very nice 9.89 Ks per 9 innings. The wind is blowing out here and I do expect some points and that is why I like Oakland here. Mike Minor is a lefty and Oakland ranks 5th in wRC+ against lefties and 5th in wRC+ in general. Kansas City ranks 21st in wRC+ which won’t bode well here on the road. Oakland’s Bullpen is also better ranking 7th in FIP at 3.68 compared to 19th for Kansas City at 4.26. I am surprised that this price is this low here and would think that it should be around -170. Anyways, how could you bet against a pitcher named Frankie? I’ll take the A’s to win.
As -145 – 2.5 stars
