(MLB) Oakland vs. Tampa Bay,
Money Line: 100.00 Oakland (Away)
Result: Win
We go with the Oakland A's as our pick in GAME 2 of this Double-Header.
Sean Manaea is 3-0 with a 1.35 ERA in his last 3 starts. He extended his win streak to four games with a six-inning effort against the Blue Jays Monday. He threw a career-high 111 pitches, allowing two runs on four hits. He struck out seven and walked three. Last night Oakland gave up 15 hits, 5 HR's and TB scored in all of the 1st five innings.
I like the A's and their pitching matchup in game 2 of this Saturday DH.


Belmont Horse Race:
TapWrit at 8-1 odds.
Play him across the board to win-place-and-show.

This horse earned its way into the Derby Field with an impressive win in February's Florida Derby, beating State of Honor and Wild Shot, and by finishing second in the race prior, just behind McCracken. Legendary trainer Todd Pletcher gave TapWrit the previous race off, skipping the Preakness, to hopefully rest and gear up and a big push at the Belmont. We shall see if the extra rest proved wise. Rested horse, legendary trainer, solid jockey – it's an very nice combo and good odds to boot.
