Baltimore at Oakland

Oakland is a huge park that is great for pitchers. Baltimore has plenty of pitching, second in the majors with a 3.42 ERA. Starter Albert Suarez (2.43 ERA) comes off six shutout innings of Texas. The bullpen is 12th in ERA (3.64) and third in WHIP, while the defense is fifth in fielding percentage. The offense has mustered just nine runs in three games of this West Coast swing. Oakland's offense is 28th in runs scored, 27th in on-base percentage, and 27th in slugging, but the bullpen is ninth in ERA (3.55). Starter Hogan Harris (3.18 ERA) has been very good and is holding batters to a .238 average at home. The A's are on a 9-5 run UNDER the total, and this shapes up as a battle with more defense than offense. Play Baltimore/Oakland UNDER the total.
