AAA's ULTRA-EARLY (12:10 EST FIRST PITCH!) 3-GM RUN-LINE REPORT!
(MLB) Oakland vs. LA Dodgers,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -114.00 LA Dodgers (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* RUN-LINE PLAY on the LA Dodgers.

This package features three run-line plays on large favorites. These games feature three of the league's best pitchers and three which have seen much better times. The third matchup is between the Oakland A's and Jesse Chavez (5-10, 3.45 ERA) and Clayton Kershaw (8-6, 2.51 ERA) and the LA Dodgers. Chavez has regressed as the season has progressed, most recently he's coming off his fourth loss in his last five games, lasting just five innings, giving up four runs off eight hits, while striking out two, his lowest strikeout total this season. Unfortunately for Chavez, this is a spot he's really struggled in as he's just 2-6 so far this season in all "day" games and only 2-6 with a 4.53 ERA on the road. Things certainly don't get any easier throwing opposite Kershaw who tossed a complete game, three-hit shutout vs. the Mets on Thursday and who has struck out a staggering 38 batters over his last three starts without issuing a single walk over that stretch. Kershaw and the home side have to be feeling pretty confident today as he's gone 5-2 with a tiny 1.87 ERA at home so far this season. All signs point to an epic one-sided destruction, play on the DODGERS on the RUN-LINE.
