10* ATHLETICS RUNLINE (ASSASSIN)

I had a free play on the A's on the runline option last night, and while the play came up short, I love how Tuesday's "rematch" sets up for the visiting side. Neither starter has been great. I'd call them a "wash." The Rangers go with Glen Otto, who is 4-5 with a 5.26 ERA, while the A's counter with James Kaprielian, who is 1-5 with a 5.06 ERA. Over his past 7 starts Otta has 24 K's, and 22 walks spanning 33 frames. Kaprielian has turned the corner (quietly,) as over 2 July starts he's allowed 2 runs over 12 innings for a 1.50 ERA. I think the undervalued underdog has much more than just a "punchers chance" in this one; the play though is Oakland on the runline option!
