Rickenbach Game #967/968 - Free MLB Pick UNDER 8 in Oakland vs Tampa Bay @ 10:05 ET - Each of these starting pitchers have higher ERAs on the season then what one would expect based on how well they have been pitching of late. As a result, we are getting fantastic line value here with this total sitting higher than it should be considering this game is also being played in a pitcher-friendly park in the cool, dense air of an evening game at Oakland Coliseum by the bay. The Rays Matt Moore has gone at least 6 innings in 8 straight starts. The southpaw "workhorse" has also allowed just 2 earned runs or less in 6 of his last 7 starts! The A's Sonny Gray has pitched at least 6 innings in 7 straight starts. The Oakland right-hander has given up 3 earned runs or less in 6 of his last 8 starts. In 6 career starts against Tampa Bay, Gray has compiled a solid 3.11 ERA. The Rays do come into this game off of some stronger showing on offense but that's because they were at hitter-friendly Coors Field facing the Rockies. Now they face a tough pitcher in a pitcher-friendly environment and the Rays, before winning 3 of their last 4 games, had lost 13 of their prior 15 games and averaged only 2.7 runs per game during that ugly stretch! The A's are off of a shutout loss to Houston yesterday and have been held to 4 runs or less in 12 of their last 16 games. The Athletics are 3-1 to the under when off of a shutout loss this season. The Rays were 11-2-1 to the under in their last 14 games before yesterday's game snuck over the total. Look for a return to "normal" for the Rays anemic offense tonight. FREE PICK on UNDER in Oakland Thursday from Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach. Best of luck always!
