Kenny G labeled Oakland the value side at +154 despite Jeffrey Springs’ recent rough patch (4.24 ERA overall but rocked in his last two starts). He likes the matchup because the A’s offense is sizzling—scoring 8, 4, 6, 5, 7 and 10 runs in their last six while ranking 10th in runs, 5th in batting average and 4th in slugging. Seattle, meanwhile, has lost five straight to fall 2.5 games behind Houston and turns to the volatile George Kirby (4.22 ERA, demolished by the Mets last outing). Although Oakland’s bullpen owns a 4.92 ERA, Kenny trusts their bats against a Mariners lineup that has produced only 2, 4, 7, 3, 1, 11, 3, 3 and 1 runs in its past nine. With the A’s 32-28-6 to the over on the road and Seattle 37-25 at home, Kenny is passing on the total but sees clear plus-money value on Oakland’s moneyline.
