Premium Pick

The Oakland A's continue to be one of the most underrated teams in baseball, despite back-to-back AL West crowns. Their 66-41 record this season is the top mark in either league. The A's are good at not letting down, as they own a 58-26 record on the season while playing as a favorite. With that has come an average margin of 2 runs per contest, and that expands to 2.2 runs per game at home. That margin climbs steeply to an average win of 3.3 runs per game when they are a home favorite of greater than -180 on the season. The Royals have been well overmatched in this spot as they are 6-22 in their last 28 as a dog from +151 to +200. Once again the A's overpower teams in this spot, and the Royals have been weak here. Take Oakland on the runline.

1 unit on Oakland -1.5 runs -105 (runline) (risk 1 to return 1.95)
