Kyle Freeland has given up at least four earned runs in each of his last four starts, and the season totals say this isn't a slump: a 7.81 ERA and 1.71 WHIP across 48 innings. Colorado is 26-44, the worst record in baseball, and they're carrying those numbers into a venue that's already produced a 29-run game this week at altitude. The Athletics come in swinging. They put up 15 home runs in three games against Milwaukee last week, backed it up with a 6-4 win in the opener of this series last night, and feature Nick Kurtz at the center of a lineup that has been one of the most dangerous in the American League. Joey Estes is fresh from Triple-A with question marks, but the spot he's been handed is about as clean as it gets for a recalled arm: Freeland and baseball's worst team. Side with the A's tonight.

Colorado at Las Vegas
10:05 PM Eastern
Colorado has yet to name a starting pitcher for tonight's series opener, leaving that half of the equation unknown heading into first pitch. What isn't unknown is where this rotation stands: the Rockies are 26-43 with a pitching staff that ranks among the worst in baseball in ERA and runs allowed, and they've been even more exposed on the road, where a 12-23 mark reflects how little firepower this team has away from home. The A's counter with Gage Jump, a top prospect in the organization who has been effective in his first MLB audition this season, posting strong ratios across his early starts. The Athletics hold the clear edge in every meaningful category tonight. Play the A's on the moneyline.
