Oakland's Paul Blackburn could have a no-hitter in the sixth inning of this game, and we'd still feel comfortable with this bet based on how Oakland's bullpen is performing. Sixteen of Oakland's last 22 opponents have scored 5+ runs. We only need four on Wednesday night and we've got the road team guaranteed to get nine at-bats.

Oakland's Coliseum is widely regarded as one of the most pitcher-friendly ballparks in the league, but opposing bats have had no trouble at all. Texas scored 28 runs in a four-game series at the end of May. Houston scored five runs in two of their three games in the following series. Boston scored 20 runs in their three-game series. Seattle hit four home runs last night. Oakland isn't going to be confused with Denver any time soon, but perhaps odds makers are giving the Coliseum a little too much credit based on historical numbers and not properly accounting for how bad this A's pitching staff is this season.

Kirby Snead walked three batters in his 1.1 innings of work last night. Austin Pruitt gave up three home runs in 13 pitches. Adam Oller threw 39 pitches last night, so he's out of the equation for tonight.

Paul Blackburn is a talented young pitcher for the A's, but a Mariners' team total of only 3.5 is an achievable milestone to reach, in our opinion. Seattle is No. 7 in wRC+ against right-hand pitching (110).
