7-Unit Play. #923. Take Oakland -124 vs Kansas City (Friday @ 8:15pm est)
The Oakland A's got the boost they needed to their lineup yesterday when Khris Davis returned from an extended absence and helped the A's avoid being swept by Tampa Bay. The lineup is now as it should be as the team embarks on a mini 5-game road trip. The first stop is in Kansas City against a KC team that we expect to come crashing back down to earth after an 11-run outburst against the Twins. The A's will send out Frankie Montas to the mound and he performed admirably in his first career start, giving up just one run and three hits while walking two and striking out seven in a career-high seven innings. He should have the advantage tonight as the Royals haven't seen him before and notoriously struggle against pitchers they haven't previously faced. On the mound for the Royals will be Ian Kennedy. Kennedy has been bad against the A's, posting an ERA over 5 in three starts. He is however coming off a decent performance last time out, but we expect him to regress to the 1-5, 5.15 ERA pitcher he is. At this point in his career, Kennedy cannot be trusted to turn in back-to-back quality starts. With Davis back in the lineup for the A's, we expect the A's to extend their road winning streak to 5 games and continue their recent dominance against KC (6-1 last 7 games in KC).

3-Unit Play. #304. Take Over 169.5 Connecticut vs. Chicago (Friday @ 9pm est)
We roll with the Over here as note that you have a Connecticut team that is one of the most prolific in the league on offense and only scored 86 points at Indiana. This is a team that scored 102 points against a good defensive LA team and 101 the game before against them which is difficult to do in a home and home situation. Plus, with Chicago coming off back to back losses this team is going to be motivated to play an elite team like Chicago at home and therefore we like Chicago to be an active underdog here and push the total over as look for both these offenses to step up from the onset as that is why the total is so high. Hence, look for a high paced game today from both teams as it likely goes over the posted total.
