Why A's-Rangers 7,5? anyone explain?

[gangeriver]

both team have strong offenses and will start with ordinary pitchers. So interesting for me.
Should be 8,5 or 9
Definitely that is a total bet and everything is possible but I take Over. there is a nonsense total line but if I miss a detail, you may explain. good luck eveyone

They are playing in Oakland.

I have never seen a 9 in Oakland for the last two years.

If you compare Oakland Coliseum to Texas Ballpark, then you will find out why the total is so low.

I know, playing in Oakland (I didn't care while writing as "A's-Rangers" first team is home second is visitor in euro games.that is a habit) like you said, we see max 8,5.
altough I ask to myself "how a person take under 7,5 for this game?" best total bet has %56-58 winning chance.there isn't any guarantee but is seems +EV

like the over here and the A's, trying to decide....

[blackeyeshamus]

leaning oakland heavily right now.
about to roll out the door for work-
watching MLB network. quoting texas pitcher
wilson making all kinds of derogatory and incendiary
swings at oakland's park, fans, city, etc.
I've been to the alameda county colosseum aka the black hole:
and I do not envy the rangers tonight. somebody is probably
going to get hurt tonight in the east bay. lord, have mercy.

Oakland has been hitting and scoring tho? Are they the Padres of the AL @ home? I don't pay much attn to Oakland overall.

Oakland does have a 'hot' pitcher on the mound, as I have been paying attn to his pitching. Brandon McCarthy (5-5, 3.31) will try for a career-best fifth straight victory as he looks to win his fourth consecutive start. The right-hander, 4-0 with a 2.78 ERA over his last five outings, gave up five hits over eight innings of an 8-0 win over the Rays on Saturday.

I was looking @ this game earlier, but passed on action.

BOL
