Bookie Beatdown May 28 - Oakland Athletics

The Oakland Athletics have won seven of their last ten (on the road in the East no less). Bookies in the region will begin to see their losses mount should this keep up.  A top Pay Per Head will help keep any additional losses managable through loss leaders like an online casino platform, dozens of props and futures and LIVE IN-PLAY WAGERING.

There could be some good news for Oakland area bookmakers as they face a surging Tampa Bay team that has won five of their last seven against the A's.  They open as a -130 favorite Monday.

It's the Athletics defense that is making the difference of late.

The AthleticsNation.com writes of this defense:

When the A’s returned home they gave us a reminder of why defense is so important, in a pair of one-run losses to the Mariners. On Tuesday they went to extra innings, and Seattle drove in the winning run on the play embedded below. Notice Dustin Fowler bobble the initial pickup, after which the runner slides into home safely by maybe one or two steps at the most. You have to figure that a cleaner play results in an out, which wouldn’t have guaranteed victory but would have substantially raised the probability.

Chris Paddack Player Prop Bets

Paddack recorded 10 strikeouts over seven shutout innings on Monday in a win over the White Sox. Prior to that start, Paddack was obliterated by the Orioles, allowing nine runs on 12 hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Zach Eflin Player Prop Bets

Zach Eflin has great value in fantasy leagues for the April 26 game against the lowly Chicago White Sox.  Betting on Eflin and the Tampa Bay Rays might make sense if not for the -210 price tag.

Trevor Williams Player Prop Bets

The Nats Trevor Williams held the Astros to one run with four strikeouts across six innings in a no-decision on Saturday.  And the betting public was eating him up at a near 80% clip.
