“My dream was to play football for the Oakland Raiders. But my mother thought I would get hurt playing football, so she chose baseball for me. I guess moms do know best.”

1. Boston Red Sox (-110) @ Oakland Athletics (O/U 10.5)
Our model is showing nice value on the Athletics in this game projecting a fair ML price of almost -140 versus -110 in the market. We have Dustin May rated lower than the public and would much rather back a serviceable Jeff Springs on the bump who should have ample run production behind him in this spot.
Selection: Athletics ML (-110) to Win 1 unit.
Please Note: Our selection on the A's tonight has been compromised due to the Late Scratch of Red Sox starter Dustin May. He was a key driver of our A's thesis which is no longer valid. The Red Sox will have a highly-touted rookie taking the bump in lieu of May and although the line has actually slightly moved in our favor we no longer advise playing the A's tonight and recommend utilizing cash out options that are available at no cost OR playing back the Red Sox ML (-110). For record keeping proposes we will be playing back Red Sox ML (-110). We always strive to be transparent and appreciate each of our subscribers.
