A’s +160 (Sears/Oviedo)

Thank the Heavens for “team” baseball. Bettors all over the “good team”, Pirates, and full bore against the “bad team”, the A’s. I wonder how many have noticed the A’s are 5-6 when Sears takes the ball, and the Pirates are 6-5 when Oviedo does. Not much difference, but Sears is 6-5 for quality starts and Oviedo is 5-6, which sort of seems to average things out. Sears is also much higher in the more important pitching categories than Oviedo, and that sort of eliminates HFA. A coin-flip at +160? Yeah, I’ll bite.

The top minor league team in baseball is 

the Norfolk Tides AAA  Orioles AAA team..

Would give the A's  a run for their money....Fact...

Great spot ON IT

@bigred84

 Can't possibly be "fact" since they have not, and will not, play each other. Again, you are looking at "team vs. team" baseball, not A's/Sears vs. Pirates/Oviedo. Most of your good team/bad team theory goes up in smoke right there.    

Think "value" for a moment. At -180 the Pirates pay 56 cents on the dollar of risk. The A's pay 160 cents on the dollar of risk. Are the Pirates so much better in tis matchup that they are worth $1.04 cents less value than the A's? 

Like this ..Will be on it..GL 

Not understanding … the A’s are trash ! Why get cute 

Love this play

Pirates off a sweep vs Stl 

Winners of 5 in a row

A's off a sweep at Mia

Losers of 4 in a row

Pirates will NOT sweep the A's

I will be on Oakland ML all 3 games and doubling up if need be 

Best of luck buddy

Falcon 

Exactly...

Sweeping their ,arguably,  number one division nemesis  ...

Possible letdown as ITS JUST THE A's...who had yesterdays game slip thru their fingers.

Worth a shot

Bol fellas 

@KeyElement

Good luck...

I've got the A's as being 3-8 behind Sears.  But that's still 1/4 of their wins this season.

@KeyElement

 Agree, wish the Best :) Knock!

I like it Key   I also have Milw +118 

The As have lost 6 of Sears last 7 games.  They haven’t won consecutive starts with him this season. 

I consider KeyElement one of the smartest cappers on this forum when it comes to baseball. But I find it very funny that I haven't seen him in profit for at least 5 years. I respect his choices a lot, but I think there are flaws. Or baseball is the hardest sport to bet on in the world.</

Just a question. Why in the world with all mlb games would people bet on a team as bad as oakland. Im 49, never seen a worse team in my life. Its youre money, i wish ya the best.

Let me clarify something. When I state the 5-6 on Sears and 6-5 on Oviedo, those are starter vs. starter results, not the eventual outcome of the games. Sears is almost as good at putting his team in a position to win as Oviedo. Granted, the A's bullpen has not finished off the opponents, but with some help from the offense perhaps they can for a change. You do not get +160 because your team is a clear favorite, you get that for taking some small chances. A's are down around +145/150 now so I am not the only one that thinks they are a good choice. Only 23% of people think the A's are the right side, so the line should not have gone against them. I pointed out that Oviedo at -180 was ridiculous and some folks with money agree with me. We'll see.

Think about that. Oviedo -180? 

@KeyElement

 I completely agree key. Oviedo at -180 is nuts. Youre a smart man and great capper. Thats why i wouldnt touch it but also wish ya good luck

The fact pirates to win the series is -260 

But Winning series 2-1 is +100 and Sweeping A's is +250

They won't be sweeping Oakland

@JFelty

 The next two days we are looking at Kaprelian/Keller and you can't see any hope there, but then it is Harris/Contreras, and the new kid (Harris) is impressive so far. With Sears the A's have a shot in two of three. That keeps the series price down right there.

I took the Pirates RL -1.5 for +105

Oviedo has been inconsistent this season but he's only given up 1 run in 3 of his last 4 outings.

Out of the 49 losses so far for the A's this year, 40 have been by more than 1 run. 

A's are dead last in OPS against RHP, Pirates are 14th against LHP

I think if they do have a shot of winning one game it will be Wednesday.

Not to mention they're dead last in just about every major pitching category. They're on pace to win 32 games. I'm gonna keep fading them until they give me a reason not to.

Like your play Sir.

3 0 Oakland! 

Pirates sweep Cards 

A's 14 L in a row on road
