The Oakland A's always seem to be considered less than what they are, but this team has solid pitching in the rotation, a good pen, and gets a lot out of a lineup that most consider less than others. The A's are 39-20 at home this season, winning just about two of every three games played here, and in those 59 games they have outscored opponents by 1.8 runs per contest. More importantly, in their 39 wins they have crushed their opponents by an average of 4 runs per contest! It certainly makes sense if you like this team to play them on the runline, as they win big at home. Minnesota has had little success vs. top pitching, as they are a dismal 31-80 in their last 111 games vs. a starter with a WHIP of 1.15 or less, and just 12-41 when facing a line of +201 or greater in their last 53. All the makings are here for another A's blowout at home, so make play Oakland on the runline.
