Pick
Oakland was finally able to snap their losing streak with a win on Thursday, and they will look to make it two in a row in this matchup. Baltimore has won two of their last three games against Oakland and has been able to score 21 runs in the three games. There is some question regarding who will start on the mound for Oakland, but we know Cole Irvin will start for Baltimore, who has allowed nine earned runs over 8.2 innings pitched. I like the over in this game.
