6-4 (+1.88)

Oakland -108 (1.5 units)

TB's SP J. Shields has given up 4 or more runs in 6 of 7 starts with the lone other start giving up 3. Oakland's bats are hotter as well. Milone>Shields right now, I like the A's again tonight.

Over 8.5 -105 Houston/Milwaukee

Even if Gallardo and Keuchel bounce back from recent bad starts (which I don't expect to happen) they'll eventually have to get to these bullpens. 2 of the 4 worst in baseball according to my numbers.
