Las Vegas at Seattle

This is a very chalky line that is predicated on one thing, and one thing only - Felix Hernandez. Hernandez has been brilliant all season and deserves votes for the Cy Young award. There has been a sticky area for the emerging right-hander though, and that is this Oakland A's team. Oakland touched him up for five runs in five innings this season. The other side of the coin is Trevor Cahill on the hill for the A's. He has really emerged as a stopper. The A's are now 6-1 in his last seven starts, and he has pitched to a 2.43 ERA over the stretch. The seven games show that five teams have failed to score more than two runs for the game with Cahill on the mound. I like the matchup here and the long odds offer value. I'm going with the A's here.
