EARLY 5-GAME *50 STAR* MLB BLOWOUT DESTRUCTION PASS (BIG RETURN ON INVESTMENT!)
(MLB) Oakland vs. NY Mets,
Money Line: 152.00 Oakland (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the Oakland A's.

We think that Steven Matz is overpriced in this matchup:

Paul Blackburn: He's 1-0 with a 1.83 ERA. Blackburn most recently allowed three runs off five hits over six innings in a no-decision to the Tribe on Saturday. Blackburn is 1-0 with a 1.17 ERA on the road and while regression across the board seems imminent, we feel he has much more than just a "punchers chance" in this one.

Matz: He's 2-3 with a 4.58 ERA. Matz most recently was shelled for seven runs off nine hit in a loss to Colorado on Sunday. This is Matz's second straight poor outing, which doesn't bode well tonight as he's 0-2 with an atrocious 12.38 ERA at home this season.

The bottom line: These teams are moving in opposite directions, as Oakland is 8-7 (+1.6 units) in July, while New York is 5-8 (-3.7 units) this month. We like Blackburn to continue his progression and we look for Matz to continue to slide. Play on the ATHLETICS.
