Stephen Nover's MLB Wednesday Run Line Dominator
(MLB) Oakland vs. Texas, 07/13/2022 8:05 PM, Score: 2 - 5
Point Spread: 1.50 | -125.00 Oakland (Away)
Result: Loss
I'm not going to land on the A's very much. But with Paul Blackburn getting the start and Texas not playing well, I'll get involved with Oakland on the run line at plus 1 1/2 runs.

Blackburn is the A's best pitcher. He's 6-4 with a 3.36 ERA. Blackburn has been tremendous on the road where he's 5-0 with a 1.28 ERA.

Oakland has played better on the road. The A's are eight games below .500 away while a staggering 21 games below .500 when home.

If given 1 1/2 runs, the A's would be 8-3 in their last 11 games.

The Rangers are going with Jon Gray, who is 5-4 with a 4.03 ERA. Gray is never going to live up to the one-time hype of being a No. 1 type starter. He's been decent lately, but I would take Blackburn above him especially given how poorly Texas has been playing. The Rangers are 4-8 in their last dozen games. They would be 3-9 during this span if giving up 1 1/2 runs.
