    Has anyone been able to figure out the A's line?

    OAK seems like a solid play. Great day team, solid home team, better pitcher. So why are they only -120? And why isn't the line doing much?

    One stat made me skip this one:
    The Blue Jays have won two of three in each of their last five trips to Oakland. You can also add to that the fact that Rzepczynski was pretty solid so far.

    Mark Z is going to be a big time pitcher. High K/9 Rate and a ground ball pitcher... so careful if you are on the A's.
    Like the Under here actually.

    said the exact same thing when i saw it open at -118 at pinnacle and it went DOWN to -115 at one point. makes no sense at all. gio a great home pitcher. 8-1 as favorite and 7-1 in day games. i cannot figure this out at all.

    I'm taking the Cubs ML and Toronto ML.

    San Diego is the trap of the day.......

    Toronto is not bad so that's like a 50/50 sort of thing and the Book likes gettting that day money from us.

    GL.......

    Line number seems about right. Agreed with Paulz-dude is a relative unknown commodity thus can't relaly go overboard on the line. I took A's-cheers

    A tough spot for the Jays here. Coming off a loss and still on the road in Cali. This team has shower weakness at times when on long road trips out west over the years. Price is slightly lower then I expected but thats good for me since i'm on the Athletics. Cheers!

    It's not a complete waste of time but one should base one's plays entirely on it. The ability to read line movements correctly is what matters.
