ASA TOP PLAY 10* ON Run Line: Oakland A's (-1.5 runs) over Arizona Diamondbacks, Wednesday at 9:40 PM ET

The A's have been one of the best teams in MLB this season but got blasted at Arizona yesterday. Now the series shifts to Oakland and it is payback time tonight. The Diamondbacks are only 5-7 on the road this season. The Athletics are 9-3 at home this season. Arizona's Merrill Kelly has pitched well early this season but, keep in mind, this has been in rather limited action. He has only made 2 road starts and last season on the road he was 6-9 with a 5.42 ERA in his road outings. The A's are starting Jesus Luzardo and he is off his worst start of the young season. We like taking talented quality pitchers off a rough start and he is now back home where the southpaw is undefeated in 4 outings (2 starts) and has compiled a 2.60 ERA. Opponents are hitting just .217 against Luzardo in his home games and he has fanned 17 in 17 innings! The A's were 52-29 at home last season so they are a combined 61-32 in home games the past two seasons combined. The Dbacks have a losing record on the road when combining last season and this season and the A's are a pricey money line favorite here with good reason. Per our computer math model, the home team is poised to win in a rout in this bounce back spot and the best value is with utilizing the run line to get them at a plus money return by laying the 1.5 runs. Lay it! Bet the Oakland A's -1.5 runs in late night action Wednesday.
