10* A'S RUNLINE (SPECIAL)

The A's have been blown out in 2 straight losses to open this series. That includes yesterday's 10-1 setback. Expect Oakland's best starting pitcher to keep his team competitive in the finale this afternoon though. With an interesting interleague series starting here tomorrow against the Cardinals, Boston gets caught looking ahead. Rich Hill gets the call for the home side and he's 2-3 with a 4.38 ERA. He's been decent, but not perfect this season. Paul Blackburn is 5-2 with a 2.31 ERA for the A's. He's off an unfortunate no-decision against the Guardians, allowing 4 hits over 8 shutout innings. "Times like this are tough on anybody," Blackburn said recently. "We're just trying to come in with a clear mind and taking that one-game-at-a-time mentality. It's tough. But guys are coming in with a positive attitude every day. They're working. Guys aren't complaining. Sooner or later, the results are going to turn in our favor." While I do feel an outright upset is in the cards, I feel more comfortably laying the price for the extra 1.5 runs in my back pocket; the play is the A's on the runline option!
