The set-up: After starting off the year with three straight losses to the Astros, I think that the A's will find a way to deliver here in this fourth and final game. The visitors go with Jose Urquidy, who looked decent in the Spring. Note that he was 0-1 with a 3.00 ERA in two starts vs. the A's last year.

The pick: Sean Manaea gets the nod for the A's, and he'll be confident here as he was 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA in two starts vs. Houston last season. I think Manaea is the better starting pitcher. I also expect Oakland to finally break out of its hitting slump here. Great value on the desperate home side and superior starter.

This is a 10* AL GAME OF THE WEEK on the A's.
