Washington at Las Vegas

We had the A's on the moneyline last night, and it blew up fast, a 23-4 final that exposed just how thin this bullpen is right now, but that game says nothing about tonight's total. Neither starter made it out of the fourth on Friday. J.T. Ginn gets the ball for the Athletics off a full week of rest since his last turn, a rough one where a gassed staff let a bad outing snowball, but for a pitcher who's limited hitters to well under a hit an inning most of the year, that's the kind of stumble extra rest tends to correct. Zack Littell's ERA still reads poorly, but his last time out against the Yankees was his best start of the month, four innings and just a single run allowed. What tips this the rest of the way is the A's bats, which have gone cold at the worst possible time, two runs total across their final three games before the break. Two starters trending the right way and one lineup that's stopped hitting is enough to keep this one UNDER the posted total tonight.
