Athletics @ Cleveland picks

I will take most 1.5-walk props at +120 or better, but I especially love this one today. THE BAT does not love it, but that is why I’m getting a fantastic price on a pitcher who has been cashing these Overs. Cecconi has a projected pitch count of 86 from THE BAT, which might be low considering he threw 98 and 105 pitches over his last two starts. He is seeing a lot of batters and has had 2+ walks in three straight games and in seven of his last 10. He’s walked 18 over 55 innings, and the Athletics are an average BB% team on the season but have been taking more free passes of late, ranking 13th in BB% over the last 30 days. I'd buy this to +120.
