Rotation #969
A’s -110 over White Sox
Montas/Keuchel
The A’s have been a little better against left handed pitching this year and their batting average is up when on the road compared to at home. Dallas Keuchel is not the strikeout pitcher that he once was and I believe the A’s are well equipped to knock him around tonight. Frankie Montas has cut down on his walks and beefed up his strikeouts per 9 innings and is the better of the two pitchers this season. Take the A’s.

Play: Cincinnati Reds -1.5 (-115) J Steele (LHP), W Miley (LHP) Must Start
Ahem….say it with me now…
We don't often bet home teams on the run line, but when we do, we prefer Wade Miley and his perfect 8-0 record at the GAB, and the opponent to be the hapless Cubbies…fresh out of Miami on no rest and here on the road again with Justin Steele on the mound and not much of a lineup, still no Willson…with the Redlegs chasing him early and giving way to the hideous bullpen with a 6.06 FIP over the past 7 days….
A variety of ways to attack this game…this is probably the MOST valuable!….if not the safest….Reds aren't losing!

Play: 1H Colorado Rockies -105 R Weathers (LHP), A Senzatela (RHP) Must Start
Not ONLY do we get the single most profitable aspect of MLB this season….Rockies F5 ML…but we get to FADE Ryan Weathers on the mound….who has been so bad of late it won't matter the Padres got the offense going a little bit last night and Tatis is back and playing outfield.
Weathers has an 8.10 FIP overall in the second half….got HAMMERED by this Rockies team in San Diego…where the Rockies do not excel at all….and he has a .469 wOBA against in the 4 starts since the break. His FIP of 5.20 and 5.72 respectively in 2-2 and 3-2 counts particularly is something to focus on when playing against him….
Meanwhile, Senzatela has a mere 2.06 FIP in the second half and an absolutely STUPID .412 BABIP which is as due for regression as any number in the entire sport….much to our benefit!
Also of note….the Dads have lost 4 straight games in Coors and have only led after 5 innings twice on the season facing the Rockies away!

Date/Time: Aug 16 2021 8:10 PM EDT
Play: Houston Astros -156 J Odorizzi (RHP), C Hernandez (RHP) Must Start
D unit Houston Astros (-156) over Kansas City Royals (Odorizzi/Hernandez) –
Jake Odorizzi on the mound has an ERA of 4.59 but some how continues to win games, including a 2-1 record in the L3 starts with a 6.08 ERA. Although Houston has played well behind him, they have given him the offense that he needs to string together the wins, the Astros are 5-2 in his L7 starts as a F (including 3-1 as AF) and they are 3-1 in his 4 starts in the opening game of a series. The Astros have started off hot in multiple series this year, in the opening game they are 24-14, including 12-7 on the road, 7-1 as an AF in the L8. and 9 straight on the road vs. non-divisional opponents. Houston is also 10-2 as an AF vs. RHP w/ ERA > 4.00 (including 8 straight), 9-2 as an AF vs. RHP w/ WHIP > 1.25 (including 8 straight), but vs. RHP in general they have faired well recently, going 12-2 as an AF vs. RHP w/ line < -115, 6-1 on the road vs a RHP off a L, and 7-1 vs. RHP after a L in which they tied, or out hit the opponent. The Royals on the other hand are starting a pitcher in Hernandez that only has 5 starts on the year, although he has fair well in those starts this is a game that could head to the bullpen early and KC's bullpen ranks #27 TY in earned runs per game out of the bullpen (1.974). The Royals have also struggled to start as hot as the Astros, they are 18-20 in the opening game of their series TY, including 2-8 in the L10 as a D and 2-6 @ H vs. SP w/ WHIP < 1.25. Against right-handed pitching this year, Kansas City has struggled immensely to say the least.. they are 7-19 as a D vs. RHP w/ WHIP < 1.25, 1-7 @ H vs. RHP after a game where they never led, 2-9 vs. RHP after a L w/ 9 or more hits, 4-13 vs. RHP after allowing more then 10 hits (2-11 off a L w/ 10+ hits allowed), 4-17 vs. RHP off a L allowing more then 1 HR, and 3-22 vs. RHP TY w/ a line > -125 (12%)!! Kansas City is now coming off of 4 straight losses, they are 6-15 TY in the 5th game, and 4-9 as a dog, while it doesn't happen to often, KC lost B2B games by 5 or more runs, this year, teams that lost B2B games by 5 or more as a dog vs. RHP are 9-20 this season!

The Oakland A’s are playing well winning 8 of their L10 Games. The White Sox have lost 4 of their L5 games and are coming off that big series with the Yankees that included the “Field of Dreams Game”. White Sox pitching got hit hard in the Yankee Series as they allowed 20 runs in the 3 games. Oakland sends Frankie Montas to the mound who has been dealing it as he has allowed 3 runs or less in 8 straight games and 12 of his last 13 games. Dallas Keuchel goes for Chicago and he has allowed 4 runs or more in 3 of his L4 starts. We also find the following:
Key Stat: OAKLAND is 16-4 against the money line against AL Central opponents this season.
