Athletics vs Orioles -180 O/U 8
This should be interesting today in Baltimore. The Os lost to the As yesterday in ugly 3-2 fashion. How does this happen? Well, the As aren’t as bad as they were last year. JP Sears takes the mound today for Oakland, who had a nice start to the season at 3.38 ERA and 4.25 FIP. Is this sustainable? Probably not. Last year those numbers were below average at 4.54 ERA and a 5.15 FIP. Cole Irvin takes the mound for Baltimore who had a rougher start to the season at a 4.63 ERA, but a decent 4.11 FIP. I see positive regression in his future. The key here for me is that both of these pitchers are lefties. Baltimore rank number three in wRC+ against lefties while Oakland ranks 22nd. This As team also struggles to create runs in general ranking 29th in total runs thus far this season. Baltimore is number six in runs. I have to take the 0s here both on the RL and the ML.
Orioles -180 – 1 star
Orioles -1.5 +120 – 1 star
