Atlanta @ Athletics picks

Sacramento is a tough spot to pitch today with a 100-degree heat and the ball is expected to fly again. Spencer Strider is also coming off a season-high 100 pitches in his last start and a game on the road usually gives worse results. His Under 7.5 Ks isn’t available everywhere and there could be a better price if this number does flip at DraftKings or bet365. However, the +115 to +120 price on what will be a tough setting coming off his biggest workload of the season is a buy for me. He has 28 Ks over 25 innings on the road but command issues away from Atlanta are driving up the pitch count. I like his Under 17.5 outs at +130 and his Over 2.5 earned runs at -120 or better today as well.
