Manaea v. Hernandez
Hard for me to get down in writing all the various aspects of why this is likely to be such a disastrously easy winner! Manaea came back and this is his 3rd start since...glowing reviews thus far and against much better teams. Hernandez is the kid starting for the Rangers and his metrics without putting all in this box....are RIDICULOUSLY bad.
The A's facing RHP on the road are in the top 4 metrically over the past few weeks while the Rangers lineup still isn't what it once was...and they had a good run early on...but this isn't their season...but it sure as hell is the A's season. The Rangers facing LHP is bad...basically just as bad at home.
I would play this on the ML as well and if we just simply needed the team to win the game it would be roughly a 15% play haha....sadly that is likely useless risk. However, with the road team and a guarantee to get all 9 at bats and Manaea unlikely to give up more than a couple runs....this sure screams 9-2 or 11-3 more than any play on the board!
