Taking OAKLAND here. Have to fade the Texas train here with Holland on the hill. I will be the first to say I had these guys as AL West Champs if they can hold it together with Yu coming back. But Holland, I think they should start looking somewhere else. Can't find a much worse option, especially on the road. Holland brings a miserable 7.40 road ERA to town in 4 starts. 24 hits in 20+ innings, 17 earned. Yikes. Hitters slapping him at nearly a .290 mark. The 10 walk/ 12 strike out ratio doesn't help matters either. I can't discount a bit of let down spot either from Texas. They took 2 of 3 from the Jays, and started a melee. There is really not a much of a positive spin for me to place on Manaea and his 11+ ERA except that he has an awesome first name (Sean!). Still, I think Texas is in a bit of spot where the A's can steal a home win. The numbers show Holland is bad, but Manaea's has his beat. Yet they are favored having lost 7 of 10, while Rangers won 7 of 10. I tend to jump on lines like this, and long term wise, we have made money doing it. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND A's
