This is an 8* TOP AL TOTAL on the UNDER A's/Indians.

I think this number is a little high.

Oakland goes with Sean Manaea, who is 8-7 with a 3.26 ERA, and who will be out to atone for a poor outing against the lowly Pirates last time out, allowing five runs over five innings.

It was his worst start of the season. But the good news is, starts like that have truly been few and far between for Manaea over the course of this season, and his career.

Note that he owns a sharp 2.64 ERA on the road as well.

Triston McKenzie is 1-5 with a 5.89 ERA for the Indians. He's pitched much better of late. He most recently allowed three runs and struck out four over seven innings in an unfortunate setback to the hard-hitting Jays on Thursday.

It was his third quality outing out of his last five.

I like Manaea to bounce-back and for McKenzie to continue his progression.

This one has UNDER written all over it.

Good luck, NP
