Las Vegas at Cincinnati

The Oakland A's are now four games ahead of the Angels and out of the AL West cellar. The A's lost 112 games a year ago and won just 50 games. We are not out of August yet and the A's have 58 wins. The A's have surprisingly turned into a good team as they are 23-14, and while the bats are not there yet the pitching has held 15 of their last 21 opponents to 4 or fewer runs. The Reds are on a five-game losing streak, and in those five games they produced exactly one run three times. I have to look at the Oakland pitching, and if they hold the Reds to four or less runs, their offense is going to need seven to get this one over the top. I like the UNDER in this one.
