Premium Pick

The Oakland Athletics are a big dog but have outscored Chicago 11-6 in the two games as they wrap up the series. Athletics' starter Zach Neal is throwing well, with only two walks on the season in 34+ innings. He faces a terrible Chicago offense, #27 in runs scored, #22 in on-base percentage and #27 in slugging. They don't score for White Sox lefty Jose Quintana, who is receiving an AL-worst 3.13 runs of support in his starts. He has been backed by fewer than two runs in 11 of his last 17 outings. The White Sox are just 3-9 against a team with a losing record, plus 20-41 versus a right-handed starter. Take Oakland.
