Understanding Public and Money
We're kind of riding the hot hand here with the A's having won 10 of their last 13. And while the Mariners have been hot lately as well, they send Emerson Hancock to the mound with his 6.62 ERA and allowed batting average of .347. I like the A's side better with Jeffrey Springs on the mound.
This play offers good value as the line is set as high as -165 on other books. Emerson Hancock has recorded 18 outs in his last two starts, but he wasn't particularly dominant in those outings. He allowed 11 baserunners in his last start despite going 6 innings. The A's, hitting .252 as a team against right-handed pitchers, offer a tough matchup with many of their best hitters batting from the left side. Historically, Hancock has gone over 17.5 outs in just 6 of 19 starts, and we have him going just 5 IP in our model.
