THURSDAY NIGHT RUNLINE RIPPER
(MLB) Oakland vs. Baltimore,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -110.00 Oakland (Away)
Result: Loss
The Oakland Athletics put a 10-0 beating on Baltimore yesterday, and I think they'll rout the poor Orioles again here Thursday night.

Baltimore has lost six straight and right-hander Dylan Bundy (7-14, 5.58 ERA) is 0-5 with a 9.09 ERA through his last seven starts. Baltimore is 1-10 in his last 11 starts and Bundy has allowed five or more runs in seven of those 11 outings.

Oakland counters with left-hander Brett Anderson (3-4, 4.02 ERA) who will make his first start since Aug 27 after a stint on the DL (strained left forearm). He posted a 2.15 ERA and did not allow a run in three of his five appearances last month.

Baltimore has the majors' worst record (41-104) and has given up on the season a long time ago. Oakland has pretty much clinched a playoff berth but will want to overtake the Yankees for home field advantage in the wild card game.

8* play on Oakland Athletics -1.5.
