#965/966 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Under 8.5 Runs – Baltimore vs Oakland, Sunday at 1:05 PM ET – Wind blowing in from left or at least left to right and is unlikely to help the hitters. A lot of right-handed bats at the plate for this one and will be trying to pull directly into the wind against a pair of solid left-handed starters. John Means has been pitching extremely well to begin this season. He has 4 starts under his belt and is the ace of the staff with a 1.52 ERA. Also, the Orioles bullpen which supports him has #6 ranked ERA in the majors with a 3.19 ERA on the season thus far. As for Oakland, they certainly are not having pitching issues either. That is why this team has won 13 games in a row! There was one crazy 13-12 extra innings win in the stretch but in the other dozen games the A's have allowed only 2 runs per game on average! The Orioles have a .377 slugging percentage against lefties to rank in the bottom third of the majors thus far this season. As hot as Oakland has been they are hitting only .221 in day games this season and Means has been fantastic on the mound this year. The Athletics have Jesus Luzardo on the mound. He has pitched quite well in 3 of his 4 starts and his most recent was his best one yet. Piling up strikeouts and he also limited hits in his most recent start plus the Orioles have no familiarity with him. That should be an edge to the young southpaw and the Orioles struggles against lefties continue. Per our computer math model, this game lands around 5 to 6 runs and even if it reaches 7 that is still a winning ticket. We like the odds being in our favor for a well-pitched affair in this one!
