This is a 10* on OAKLAND

Oakland should bounce back from a surprising 6-1 loss last night. Kansas City came into this series on a five game losing streak. They were swept down in Los Angeles to start the week. The number of runs that the Royals scored yesterday matched what they has scored in the previous four games combined. Very surprising to see the A’s with only three hits in yesterday’s game. They’d come in on a 7-1 run and had scored a minimum of four runs in every one of those eight games. Brady Singer looks like a good pitcher to target for a fade in this one. He has a 7.71 ERA and 1.86 WHIP over the last three starts. This Royals righty has never pitched in the Pacific Time Zone. The team has won only four of his 12 starts this year. Cole Irvin has the same team start record for Oakland, but a lower ERA and WHIP. Irvin also pitched very well in his last trip to the mound. The A’s were winning 1-0 in the seventh last night before a catcher interference call swung the game dramatically. Thursday’s final score was not indicative of the two teams. Oakland leads the West Division with a 37-27 record. KC is under .500. Play on OAKLAND
