This is a 10* play UNDER Oakland-Texas

We've had success this week playing totals in Oakland games and last night was another win. They beat Texas 8-6, an easy Over and Over is the way A's games have been trending lately. They bludgeoned the Orioles for 31 runs the three games prior, all Overs. Ironically, we had the Over when they LOST the series opener in Baltimore, 12-4. So it's six straight Overs overall for this ballclub. We envision tonight's game going a different way, however. A's starter Estrada will be making his fifth start already this season and while he was the culprit in that 12-4 loss in Baltimore (gave up six runs), he'd pitched quite well before that, giving up only five runs in 16 1/3 IP. It's a much different deal for Texas starter Sampson, who will be making his first start of the year tonight. Sampson has worked twice in relief, but his experience at the big league level is still limited. Yet we see him being able to mitigate the damage by Oakland, whose offense is bound to cool down. The Under is 9-4 in the Rangers last 13 games after giving up five or more runs. Play UNDER Oakland-Texas
