img9:40 PM Eastern

Pittsburgh had an impressive first two weeks of the season but is now on a 5-14 slide losing six times as chalk. Starter Mitch Keller (5.14 ERA) has allowed 51 base runners in 35 innings with batters hitting .283 off him. The Pirates are a long way from home playing their fifth consecutive road contest. They're 21st in runs scored, 27th in slugging, 20th in the bullpen (4.02 ERA), and 25th in fielding percentage. The Pirates are 10-24 after scoring 4 or fewer runs in four straight games. Oakland is on a 6-3 run cashing as underdogs of +220, +240, +240, +110, and +182. Alex Wood comes off a 3-1 upset of the Yankees (one run allowed in 5+ innings) with the A's winning three of his last four starts. Play Oakland. 

1.5 units on Las Vegas +120 (moneyline) (risk 1.5 to return 3.3)
