Result: Win
The set-up: I think Trevor Cahill is well worth the price of admission in this particular matchup. The home side sends the venerable Bartolo Colon to the hill.
The pitchers: Cahill is so far 1-2 with a 2.95 ERA. He most recently allowed one run off two hits while striking out five over 5.2 innings in a win over the Giants on Saturday. Cahill would induce 13 swinging strikes on only 79 pitches. Note that he now owns a very respectable 1.02 WHIP over 58 innings.
Colon is far 4-8 with a 4.85 ERA. Colon has been more "miss" than "hit" this season, as he's regressed considerably after a decent start to the 2018 campaign. Note that he owns a 5.01 ERA at home also.
The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Oakland is 41-26 (+19.2 units) already this year against right-handed starters, while Texas is only 29-41 (-7.4 units) against right-handed starters this season. I think Cahill outlasts Colon and I look for the red hot A's to get the job done in the end. Lay the price.
