BETTING TRENDS
Oakland are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games against Cleveland.
Oakland are 2-6 SU in their last 8 games on the road.
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Cleveland's last 5 games against Oakland.
Cleveland are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games at home.
Prediction
The Guardians outscored the A's 8-4 on Thursday and are now 4-0 this season against them. The A's will try avoid a 10th straight loss by sending their best pitcher in Paul Blackburn. Oakland have lost only 3 of 11 games when Blackburn has started this season. McKenzie is coming from a loss where he allowed 4 runs in 4 innings. If the Athletics losing streak is going to end one day what better chances than with their best pitcher on the mound.
