Indians vs. Athletics
BET: Total runs OVER 8.5 with PointsBet (-115)
📈 52% probability
Oakland left it late against the Indians last night, winning the game in a walk off while cashing the Over by 0.5 at the same time. The two teams renew hostilities again this afternoon in The Town and we're liking the Over again. Analyzing the pitching matchup, and both Cal Qauntrill of the Indians and Frankie Montas of the A's have a tendency for leaking hits and runs. A runfest looks to be on the cards.

The Dodgers are an obscene -166 at the run line for this one, indicating that the 'books are anticipating a good ol' fashioned beat down for the Rockies on their home turf, and it's hard to disagree.
