MLB - Oakland Athletics at Baltimore Orioles
Game Thoughts: Normally if I'm taking the handicap I will take it on a road team to insure I'm getting 9 innings from my offense or in instances where it's the first 5 innings either team, but this is squarely a play on the Orioles with Burnes on the mound tonight. He's 3-0 in 5 starts with a WHIP of 0.92 and 1-0 at home with a 2.70 ERA and that's likely to get better here against an A's team with poor hitting numbers, batting average and the 2nd worst OBP. Additionally, with Stripling on the mound and his 7.36 road ERA the Orioles will find more than enough offense to cover the handicap tonight.
The play is Baltimore Orioles -1.5 -128
