San Francisco Giants @ Oakland A’s
(#901) Giants +140
The Giants are still in the playoff race and today with Kevin Gausman on the mound they have a good chance to beat the offensive-struggling A’s. Gausman has been throwing lights out with a 2.87 ERA in his last 3 starts whereas Luzardo has been regressing and is at a 5.51 ERA in his last 3. The Giants also have a career .533 team batting average against Luzardo compared to the .196 average the Oakland A’s have against Gausman. The public has also been hammering the A’s and the line is reversing. There has been early sharp money on the Giants causing this reverse line movement. The Giants should show up to play today and with their best pitcher on the mound, they have a good shot to get the win if their bats can produce some early runs.
Risk 1 Unit to win 1.4 Units on the Giants to win.

New York Yankees @ Boston Red Sox
(#923) Yankees -1½ -135
The Yankees managed to pull off another win in extra innings. The Red Sox pitching staff threw a great game holding off the Yankee bats until the late innings. With the Red Sox going with a bullpen day the runs should come early and often. The Yankees have a .304 against the Red Sox Mazza and Boston only has a .205 against Happ. Happ has shut down the Red Sox and held them to only 1 run that last 2 times he faced them in a total of 12 innings pitched. The Yankees are 22-5 in the last 27 meetings. The Yankees are 8-0 this season against the Red Sox.
Risk 1.35 Units to win 1 Unit on the Yankees to win by 2 or more.
