Today's Free Pick
Game: Baltimore Orioles at Oakland Athletics 10:05 p.m. ET
Sport: MLB - Major League Baseball
Line: Oakland Athletics (Zito) -1.5 (RL) even
Prediction: Oakland Athletics (Zito) -1.5 (RL) even
Explanation: 1 Unit
Arms Must: Baltimore - Rodrigo Lopez / Oakland - Barry Zito
The A`s aim to bounce back from a rare losing series against the Twins over the weekend, as they take on the Orioles on Monday night.
They will have their ace on the mound, Barry Zito. The A`s have won nine straight Zito starts, with eight of those coming by at least two runs. He is now 7-3 with a 3.42 ERA at home this season. In 11 career starts against the Orioles, Zito owns a solid 2.59 ERA.
The O`s will counter with Rodrigo Lopez. He has been having an up and down year, as evidenced by his lofty 4.77 ERA. He comies into his one having allowed 14 earned runs over his last 15 innings of work. When he loses, he tends to lose big. Eight of the Orioles 10 losses in Lopez` starts have come by at least two runs. That should be the case again on Monday night. Not much value with the moneyline, but plenty on the run line. Play Oakland Athletics -1.5
Predicted Final: Oakland Athletics 6 Baltimore Orioles 3
