Oakland at Tampa Bay

Despite the lack of high burdensome payroll, these two teams tend to get the most out of their homegrown talent. Tampa easily swept the woeful Orioles in three straight, but it lost at home to the A's in the series opener, 13-2. Oakland lost their opener but have since pitched extremely well, allowing seven total runs in their last three games. Oakland has now won two straight as a dog of +200. That's a bit alarming for Tampa. After shutting down the meager offense of Baltimore, they were roasted for 13 runs in the opener vs. Oakland. That leaves the bullpen a bit taxed, and Oakland has pitched very well to start the season. Make the play on Oakland.
