10* OVER Yanks/A's (AL TOW)

The A's have been terrible this season, so they're an automatic fade for many people this year. They're off the rare 2-1 win here last night in the series opener, but despite these teams struggling at times to plate runs of late, I still think this Over/Under line is way too low.

The Yankees have seen the total go UNDER the number in four straight after last night's loss. Note though that they've seen the total go OVER the number in seven of their last ten in trying to avenge a road loss as a favorite vs. as an opponent. They are going with Domingo German and he's an unremarkable 4-5 with a 5.10 ERA *his ERA raises to 5.91 on the road.)

And for the Atheltics, they hand the ball to JP Sears, who has pitched a lot better than what his win/loss record would indicate as he's 1-5, but with a 4.10 ERA.

Sears hasn't been terrible, he's actually been decent, but this is just a case of him being in the wrong place at the wrong time here.

I just think there are going to be some explosive innings in this one, and when it gets to the end the total will EASILY eclipse this lower number. The play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
