Oakland Athletics made it two wins in a row, and in this one, they will look to keep things running. In game one of this series, Oakland Athletics powered a road 2-3 win.

Sears is the best pitcher for the Oakland Athletics and will be at the top level in this game. However, the Baltimore Orioles don't get their way against lefties, and they should get a few runs off of Sears here. Irvin can not be trusted here, and he is not the kind of pitcher to lay the run line here. Both starters can be trusted here, and both bullpens can give some up. Bet on the over here, with the Oakland Athletics expected to close the line.
