Premium Pick

The Oakland A's never look like a very good team on paper, but they have won the AL West two straight years. They do it with pitching, and at 16-10 on the season, they are at it again this year. Oakland has held 16 of their 26 opponents to 3 runs or less to start the season. Texas has certainly had some good pitching, as they have already recorded six shutouts on the season. Oakland has not been as good offensively against left handers, especially on the road where they are now 11-5-1 to the UNDER in their last 17 vs. a left hander away from Oakland. The Rangers are shutting down strong teams at home as they are a perfect 9-0 to the UNDER in their last nine at home vs. a team with a road winning percentage over .600. The Rangers are also 39-19-2 in their last 60 to the UNDER when scoring 2 or fewer in their previous game. Go with the UNDER in this one.
