Oakland is on fire since the break…19-12 and sending star JP Sears to the bump against Aaron Civale who is dreadful on road with a 6.62 era and just one win in 11 starts. Take the plus money

It's an offer we can't refuse! The A's at any sort of plus price these days piques our interest, mostly because of their 19-12 mark since right in front of the All-Star break that has pulled them out of the AL West cellar. As it relates to tonight, it also means a chance to go with JP Sears, now an ace on Mark Kotsay's staff, reflected in his 1.57 ERA and 0.73 WHIP across his last four starts. Meanwhile, Brew Crews starter Aaron Civale has really had his problems out on the road, notching a win in only one of eleven starts and with a 6.62 ERA as a visitor as well. Play A's on Money Line

We keep backing JP Sears. Nearly won a duel with Blake Snell over the weekend, has gone 7 or more in 4 straight starts. Very tough from the left side. Brew Crew, as great a story as they are, just 15-19 vs southpaws. A's playing good ball and are just one game below .500 at home on the season. Aaron Civale is nothing special.
