FanDuel. I’m going back to the Hunter Brown strikeout well in his matchup against the Athletics. While he struggled in hitting conditions at Tampa in his last start, he had notched exactly nine strikeouts in each of his previous five starts. The matchup against the A’s is tough on paper, but Sacramento is starting a few more strikeout prone rookies in hopes of jumpstarting their lineup.

Wow! The A's just snapped a debilitating 11-game spinout with a comeback win on Sunday vs. the Phils, and we often like to back teams who have just snapped extended losing streaks. Maybe they just want to get out of Sacramento, and Northern California; in all other locales, they are 14-9 this season. JP Sears was also one of the AL's hottest pitchers until his last two starts, and he did fare well last season at Minute Maid Park, with an 0.82 ERA in two outings. As for rough starts, Houston's Hunter Brown had one of those his last effort, battered by the Rays for five runs and seven hits (three homers!) in 5 IP of an 8-4 loss. Play A's on Money Line
