The set-up: Seattle managed a 6-5 extra-innings win here over the A's yesterday, but with what I believe to be the superior starter on the hill for it on Tuesday, I look for Oakland to bounce back in this favorable spot. The visitors hand the ball to Chris Bassitt (5-2, 3.21 ERA), who shutout the Angels over nine innings while striking out nine in a victory Thursday. The right-hander owns a sharp 74/16 K/BB this season and I expect him to easily get the better of his counterpart.

The pick: Who is the erratic Marco Gonzalez (1-3, 5.40), who returns after a short stint on the IL. Note tha the's 0-1 with a 5.25 ERA in all "night" games. Oakland is also 7-2 in its last nine in trying to revenge an extra innings road loss against an opponent in which it allowed six or more runs in. I'm laying the price and expecting a decisive victory.

This is an 8* DESTRCUTION on the A's.
