Result: Loss
This is an 8* PLAY on the Athletics.

The A's roared back to win 14-7 in extra innings here last night and with their "ace" on the mound, we're expecting the visiting side to carry that momentum over here.

Jon Gray (5-4, 4.03 ERA) and the Rangers are overpriced here in our opinions, which swings the value to the undervalued underdog. He'll be opposed by Paul Blackburn (6-4, 3.36), who owns a sharp 73-23 strikeout to walk ratio this season.

Each has struggled against his respective opponent today funnily enough, and each enters off a crummy outing in their last trip to the hill. These starters are a "wash."

Blackburn though faced the Astros in his last outing, and I think he bounces back big in this favorable spot.

One last thing to point out here. Texas has lost seven straight "Game 3" in their last seven series, and we're expecting that strong trend to continue here.

The value swings to the underdog ATHLETICS on Wednesday night.

Good luck, NP
