SUPER EARLY TIGERS @ BLUE JAYS DAYTIME DESTROYER

The Toronto Blue Jays recorded a 3-2 triumph over the Detroit Tigers Friday, and I expect another low-scoring contest here. 

Blue Jays righty Sam Gaviglio (2-2, 3.98 ERA) has compiled a 1.31 ERA in five outings (three starts) covering 20 2/3 innings at home on the season. Detroit southpaw Matt Boyd (4-6, 4.15 ERA) also has better numbers at home, but note that under is 9-1-2 in Blue Jays last 12 home games vs. a left-handed starter.

Under is 12-4 in Tigers last 16 road games and 20-6 in their last 26 after scoring two or fewer runs in their previous game.

In addition we can note that the Rays were shut out in a 1-0 loss in the opener of this four-game series on Thursday.

The Rays turn to Wilmer Font (1-3, 6.46) who has posted a 1.80 ERA in four June starts.

BELGIUM V ENGLAND BANKROLL BUILDER

Both England and Belgium have impressed in their first two games of the tournament. Both sides guaranteed a spot in the round of 16, which will mean neither side will be scared of losing this game. Instead I think we'll see two sides really going for it as they aim to win the group, and there's no doubt they have plenty of firepower, considering that they've combined for 16 goals so far in the tournament.

New York righty Zack Wheeler (2-6, 4.85 ERA) has posted a 5.13 ERA in his last 10 starts, but he's coming off back-to-back decent outings with a total of 15 strikeouts and just eight hits allowed through 13 innings.

Under is 12-2 in Mets last 14 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Under is 29-11-3 in CB Bucknor's last 43 games behind home plate.

In addition we can note that Arizona southpaw Robbie Ray (2-0, 4.88 ERA) will make his first start since April 29, when he was sidelined by a strained right oblique. "I feel ready for this," Ray told mlb.com. "I feel like I'm in really good shape. My arm feels good. My oblique is fine. I want to pitch and give us a chance to win." Ray is 1-2 with a 3.06 ERA in three career starts versus Miami who's left-hander Wei-Yin Chen (2-4, 6.70 ERA) boasts a 2.53 ERA in four home starts on the season.

WEDNESDAY WORLD CUP *TOP PLAY* TOTAL

Brazil are tied with Switzerland at the top of the group at four points each with Serbia just one point back. 

Serbia have been on both the winning and losing side of 1-0 games and boast a really solid defense. While they most likely need to win here to make it to the round of 16, don't expect them to come out all guns blazing as they're smart enough to know that Brazil have the pace and skill to punish such an approach. 

Instead I think they'll try and keep a clean sheet and hope to make the most of their size advantage and score off a set piece. 

Brazil have little reason to go on the attack, and while their offensive players steal all the headlines, note that Brazil are unbeaten in their last 13 games all competitions included, conceding just three goals in that run. 

I think we'll see two cautious sides play out a low-scoring game.

Newcomb held Baltimore to one run on five hits in seven innings his last time out, the eighth of 15 starts he has conceded one earned run or fewer.

IRAN/PORTUGAL TOTAL

Portugal are joint top of the group with Spain at four points a piece, but Iran are lurking just one point behind. The Iranians will throw everything they got forward here to try and win the game and overtake Portugal, and the Portuguese defense has been far from convincing. Cristiano Ronaldo meanwhile will love the space left behind the Iranian defense as they push forward, and I think this will be a high-scoring affair.

KC righty Jason Hammel (2-8, 4.88 ERA) is 2-2 with a 2.85 ERA over nine career appearances (eight starts) against the Astros, including a 1.74 ERA over his last three starts.

The Orioles opened this series with a 10-7 triumph, but runs and wins have both been few and far between for Baltimore of late, having lost 11 of its last 14 games. 

Baltimore right-hander Dylan Bundy (5-7, 3.81 ERA) was tagged with four runs on five hits with a pair of homers in six innings his last time out, although it's worth noting he had tossed a combined 15 scoreless innings in his last two starts prior to that. 

Julio Teheran (5-4, 3.97 ERA) takes the ball for Atlanta. He fanned 11 through a six inning no-hitter against the Padres his last time out before getting pulled with a minor cramping issue. The Braves are 7-1 in Teheran’s last eight home starts. 

Under is 10-1 in Orioles last 11 interleague games vs. a team with a winning record. Under is 9-2 in Braves last 11 home games.

Atlanta's bats should be able to do more damage than the O's and enough to win a low-scoring game.

Reigning world champions Germany are in a "must-win" situation after 1-0 loss to Mexico. We have seen several of the top nations struggle to break down weaker opposition here in the World Cup, and here Germany will face a Sweden side happy to sit deep and try to soak up the pressure in hopes of a 0-0 draw as they already have three points in the bag since beating South Korea. Sweden offer very little going forward though, and their goal against South Korea was their first in 402 minutes of international football. They defend very well though, and only one of Sweden's last 10 games has had more than two goals.

The Milwaukee Brewers really did a number on their NL Central rival Thursday night, and I think they'll come through with a win again here on Friday, but in a much lower scoring game. 

Cardinals right-hander Jack Flaherty (3-2, 2.66 ERA) is having an outstanding year and has allowed only one run with 13 Ks through his last two starts. Under is 7-2-1 in Flaherty's last 10 starts overall, and you just never know how much run support the Cards bats can provide their pitching staff. 

Milwaukee righty Junior Guerra (3-5, 2.89 ERA) was charged with three runs in 5 1/3 innings against Philly his last time out, but is still no doubt enjoying an excellent season. Guerra will carry a respectable 1.16 WHIP and 67/26 K/BB ratio over 71 2/3 innings into this contest and has shut down the Cardinals offense, holding them to only one run through 11 1/3 innings of work on the season.

Under is 20-5-1 in Brewers last 26 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and runs are likely to come at a premium for both sides. However, if one team was to run up the score it's more than likely to be the Brew Crew, just like they did in Thursday's 11-3 triumph.

Croatia boast a star-studded midfield, and it won't be easy for La Albiceleste to get the ball passed it to their strikers. We can also note that Croatia have never lost their second group game at a World Cup, conceding just one goal in four matches.

The Cincinnati Reds recorded 13 hits in a 9-5 triumph over Detroit on Tuesday. I think we'll see another Reds wins (but way fewer runs scored overall) here Wednesday afternoon. 

Reds' righty Tyler Mahle (5-6, 3.96 ERA) has allowed just two earned runs through his last three starts. The Reds have won his last four starts and Tigers are 1-5 in their last 6 interleague games vs. a right-handed starter. 

Detroit right-hander Michael Fulmer (3-5, 4.13 ERA) has given up one run in each of his last two outings and owns a 1.94 ERA through eight day starts on the season. The Tigers have however lost six of his last eight starts and while Reds might be just 11-23 at home on the season, note that they're a solid 10-3 in their last 13 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

The St. Louis Cardinals ended a season-high four-game slide with a 5-0 triumph over the Cubs Sunday night. I like them to ride the momentum of the victory and red hot Miles Mikolas (7-2, 2.43 ERA) here at Philadelphia Monday night. The right-hander's 2.43 ERA is the best in the Cards rotation and they've won six of his last eight starts. Mikolas has yet to lose on the road this season and the Cards have a winning road record at 16-14. 

Philadelphia righty Nick Pivetta (4-6, 4.25 ERA) has been knocked around plenty lately and has posted an 8.36 ERA in three starts this month. He allowed six runs, eight hits and three walks in five innings of a 7-2 loss to Colorado on Wednesday. 

Still, under is 7-1-1 in Pivetta's last nine home starts vs. a team with a winning record and 10-4-3 in Cardinals last 17 road games vs. a right-handed starter. Let's go with St. Louis to win a low-scoring game.

They do not have much firepower without Zlatan Ibrahimovic (retired from international football) and know they have to defend well to stand a chance against any opponent. They do however defend very well and held seven clean sheets in qualification. South Korea finished second on their qualification group with an 11-10 goal differential in 10 games, and were unable to run up the score despite playing some rather weak opponents. Goals should come at a premium here, and we might very well see the first 0-0 game of the tournament.

The Chicago Cubs are going for the sweep of this three-game series Sunday night. I think we'll see a pitchers duel.

Jose Quintana (6-4, 4.09 ERA) will take the ball for Chicago. Quintana held Milwaukee to two runs on four hits in six innings his last time out and has permitted only four runs in his last three starts. The left-hander is 3-1 in five career starts against the Cardinals with a 2.67 ERA. Jack Flaherty (3-2, 2.96 ERA) will take the ball for the Cards. This will mark his first career start against the Cubs, and he gave up just three hits and a run in 6 1/3 innings against the Padres his last time out.

The Pittsburgh Pirates opened this series with a 3-2 triumph Friday night, and I think they'll make it two in a row here with Ivan Nova on the mound. 

Nova (3-5, 4.68 ERA) struck out eight in 5 2/3 innings, giving up one run and four hits in a 7-1 win over the Cubs in Chicago his last time out. It was his first start since returning from the disabled list (sprained right ring finger). "Just the way that the ball was coming out of my hand, I could tell the difference right away," Nova said. "To be able to pitch a game like (that) ... I think that's kind of a lesson for you. Don't force it."

The Reds turn to Luis Castillo (4-7, 5.79 ERA) who served up a pair of homers in the first inning and was responsible for five of the runs in a 6-4 loss to the Cards his last time out. He did however set a career-high 10 strikeouts. "You saw the talent of Castillo," Cincinnati manager Jim Riggleman said. "The last three innings that he threw were outstanding, and it's exciting to know that this guy has got a chance to be around here for a very long time. He's just going to get better and better once he gets past these growing pains."

Pirates are 6-1 in the last 7 meetings with the Reds here at PNC park and under is 10-2 in Nova's last 12 home starts.

The Chicago Cubs have won eight of nine meetings on the season following a 7-2 triumph in the series opener Monday night. 

I like the Brewers to turn the tables with a low-scoring win here in Game 2 of the series with right-hander Chase Anderson (4-5, 4.57 ERA) on the mound. 

Anderson has posted a solid 3.33 ERA in nine career starts against the Cubs (2.08 ERA in two starts on the season) and the Brew Crew is 10-4 in Anderson's last 14 home starts.

Tyler Chatwood (3-4, 3.86 ERA) will take the ball for the Cubs. He has conceded six earned runs covering 12 2/3 innings through his last six starts, but it could easily have been way worse as he's allowed 14 hits and 16 free passes during that stretch. 

Chatwood's 53/56 K/BB ratio on the season is just atrocious, and I think Milwaukee will be able to take advantage of the right-hander's lack of command.

Junior Guerra (3-4, 2.83 ERA) will take the ball for Milwaukee, and he's been dominant in seven games (four starts) against the Cubs (1.80 ERA). Guerra has posted quality starts in four of his last five outings.

The New York Yankees are going for the sweep of this Subway Series and deal the reeling Mets a ninth straight defeat when they take Citi Field Sunday night. Odds are the Yankees will come through with a win, but I think it will be of the low-scoring variety. 

Mets' righty Seth Lugo (1-1, 2.04 ERA) will no doubt be looking to make the most of a spot start filling in for Noah Syndergaard, and he threw four shutout innings against the Cubs on May 31 in his only previous start this year. Under is 4-0 in Yankees last 4 games vs. a right-handed starter.

Yankee righty Luis Severino (9-1, 2.20 ERA) is 7-0 with a 1.85 ERA in his last 10 starts andranks fourth in the AL in ERA on the season. The Mets have managed just 11 runs during their eight-game slide, and runs surely won't come easy here against the NYY ace.

BONUS PICK

The Philadelphia Phillies have had a tough start to the month, losing seven of their first eight games including back-to-back setbacks to the Brew Crew.

I like Milwaukee to keep taking advantage of the reeling Phillies here on Sunday with Brandon Woodruff (2-0, 6.05 ERA) on the mound. Woodruff has bounced between the majors and Triple-A this season, but this looks like a perfect time for him to build some confidence against a Philly side which has scored just 2.8 runs per game over its last eight contests.

Zach Eflin (2-2, 3.74 ERA) will take the ball for the Phillies, and he'll be facing a Brew Crew which has combined for 24 runs and 26 hits in the first two games of the series.

Over is 8-1 in Eflin's last 9 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Over is 20-6-1 in the last 27 meetings in Philadelphia.

The Golden State Warriors are just two wins away from their third NBA title in four years after a pair of double-digit wins home in Oakland. 

The Cavs gave GS a scare in Game 1 but still lost by 10 in OT, and the Warriors dominated Game 2 from start to finish to run away with a 122-103 triumph. 

Remember how Cavs defeated Golden State in the 2016 NBA Finals in seven games, coming back from a 3-1 series deficit to avenge their NBA Finals loss from the year before? I'm sure Warriors do, and that's why I expect them to keep pushing the pedal to the metal and not give Cavs any reason to think they can win this series.

Cleveland superstar LeBron James couldn't have played any better in Game 1 (51 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists), and to still lose after such a performance must be deflating.

The Washington Capitals stole home ice advantage in the Stanley Cup Finals with their Game 2 victory in Vegas. Goaltender Braden Holtby was the hero with a couple of amazing saves in the dying minutes of the game, but I expect the Golden Knights to bounce back and win a high-scoring contest here in Game 3. Note that Vegas is a solid 6-2 on the road so far in the playoffs while the Caps are just 4-5 home at Capital One Arena. 

"We try and play the same game no matter what game we're playing at, and it worked really well so far in the post-season," Vegas coach Gerard Gallant said Thursday. "We just try and play the same game — play a quick, fast game, an up-tempo game. Every game's important in the playoffs, so I really don't think it matters if you're playing at home or on the road.

TOP RATED NBA FINALS GAME 1 *BEST BET* TOTAL

For the fourth year in a row, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors will meet in the NBA Finals. I think we'll see a relatively low-scoring game here in the opener. 

Cleveland was among the worst defensive teams in the NBA during the regular season, but the Cavs have stepped the intensity on defense here in the postseason and held the Celtics to fewer than 100 points in each of the last three games of the Eastern Conference Finals. Kevin Love is in the league’s concussion protocol after colliding with Boston’s Jayson Tatum in Game 6 of that series and will need to complete a series of tests before he's cleared to return. 

The Warriors held the Rockets to fewer than 100 points in each of the last five games of the Western Conference Finals. Primarily known for their offensive capabilities, it's also worth noting that State has held opponents to an average of 100.3 ppg here in the postseason. 

Under is 4-0 in Cavaliers last 4 road games. Under is 5-0 in Warriors last five overall. Under is 8-2-2 in the last 12 meetings at Oracle Arena.

GAME OF THE WEEK (MLS)

The LA Galaxy are coming off back-to-back 1-0 triumphs, and I think they'll be involved in another low-scoring contest when hosting FC Dallas Wednesday night. 

"We’ve gutted out the last two games," LA Galaxy manager Sigi Schmid said after the most recent victory. "But, the main thing is that we’ve played to zero, and as we said at halftime we said look just keep it a zero, we’ll find a goal. This is a team that will somehow find a goal. And, we found a goal. So, what I’m happy with is that I think defensively over the last two games, we’ve bent a little bit, but we’ve been stronger."

Dallas have allowed just 11 goals in 11 games on the season for the best defensive record in the Western Conference and we can note that Galaxy will be without suspended striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic for this matchup.

Yesterday's Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals finished with a total of just 166 points, and I would be surprised to see this Game 7 break 200. Five of the first six games of this Western Conference Finals series have gone under the total, and I expect to see two aggressive defenses once again tonight.

EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS GAME 7 TOTAL

The Boston Celtics host the Cleveland Cavaliers for Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals Sunday night, and we should see a defensive battle with a spot in the NBA Finals at stake. 

Another reasoning for the under is the fact that the Cavs will be without power forward Kevin Love (concussion). Even though Love has struggled to find his rhythm during the playoffs, he's usually providing a key threat as an open shooter when Lebron James opens up the defense.

Note that both of the last two games stayed under 200 points!

In addition we can note that St. Louis right-hander Jack Flaherty (1-1, 2.31 ERA) has allowed one run in three of his four starts this season and Pittsburgh righty Trevor Williams (5-2, 3.05 ERA) is enjoying a great year. Under is 7-0-1 in Williams' last 8 starts vs. a team with a winning record and 6-1-3 in Cardinals last 10 road games vs. a right-handed starter.

Under is 7-2-2 in the last 11 meetings.

In addition we can note that Mets' right-hander Noah Syndergaard (4-1, 2.91 ERA) held the D'Backs to one run through seven frames his last start. He has held seven of his last nine opponents to two or fewer runs and has this Brewers roster limited to a .157 AVG over 51 at bats. Milwaukee right-hander Junior Guerra (3-3, 2.98 ERA) is having a solid year and gave up just one run his last outing. 

Under is 13-3-2 in Syndergaard's last 18 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Under is 8-2 in Guerra's last 10 home starts vs. a team with a winning record.

In addition we can note that Houston will send Dallas Keuchel (3-6, 3.43 ERA) to the mound. Sure, the left-hander's win/loss record for the season is not all that impressive, but note that he's 4-1 with a 2.76 ERA in seven career appearances (six starts) against the Tribe. Cleveland turns to Corey Kluber (7-2, 2.36 ERA) who's having an excellent year, but I really think the value is on the visitors and the under in this matchup. 

Under is 13-6 in the last 19 meetings in Cleveland.

This play is based on an undisclosed totals system which has generated an ROI of close to 16% so far in 2018. 

In addition we can note that this total is inflated out of proportion because of the two starting pitchers' poor performances of late. Under is 8-2 in White Sox last 10 overall and 6-2-1 in Orioles last nine road games. Under is 12-3-1 in White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito's (3-4, 6.42 ERA) last 16 starts overall and 3-1-1 in Baltimore right-hander Dylan Bundy's (2-6, 4.70 ERA) last five road starts.

In addition we can note that Pittsburgh had scored just 11 runs through a 4-game losing streak before breaking out to beat the Reds 5-4 on Wednesday. Cincinnati right-hander Luis Castillo (3-4, 5.61 ERA) has allowed two or fewer runs in each of his last four starts and held the Cubs to one run through five frames his last time out. Pittsburgh right-hander Ivan Nova (2-4, 4.79 ERA) has struggled of late, but he held San Diego to a pair of runs through six innings his last time out and has a 3.34 ERA in five day starts on the season. 

Under is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings.

In addition we can note that Dodgers' right-hander Kenta Maeda (3-3, 3.89 ERA) has posted a 2.56 ERA in seven career appearances (five starts) versus the Rockies. Kyle Freeland (4-4, 3.17 ERA) will take the ball for Colorado. He compiled a 4.26 ERA in four starts against the Dodgers last year, but take into consideration that under is 12-3-1 in Dodgers last 16 games vs. a left-handed starter. Under is 4-0-1 in the last five meetings. Under is 8-2 in Sam Holbrook's last 10 games behind home plate.

The New York Mets have won four in a row including a 2-0 triumph in the opener of this three-game series with Miami Marlins. I expect another low-scoring contest here Tuesday night, but with the Marlins coming out ahead. Miami right-hander Caleb Smith (2-5, 4.22 ERA) had allowed just four runs through his last four starts before running into early trouble in a 7-0 loss to the Dodgers his last time out. I think he'll bounce back with a solid performance here, unlike Zack Wheeler (2-3, 5.92 ERA) who was tagged with six runs through four innings of a 12-1 home loss to Toronto his last outing. Wheeler has allowed 15 runs through his last three starts and he's 0-3 with a 9.56 ERA in three home starts on the season. The Fish are averaging only 3.48 rpg, but I think the value is on the visitors and under in this contest.

The Atlanta Braves lead the Phillies by 1 1/2 games in the National League East, but that could change quickly as the they open a three-game series at Philadelphia Monday night. 

Mike Foltynewicz (3-2, 2.87 ERA) will take the ball for the visitors. The Braves have lost 13 of his last 16 starts and the 26 year old right-hander lasted only five innings his last time out, throwing 107 pitches while walking five hitters. The Phillies turn to Nick Pivetta (3-2, 3.72 ERA) who struck out 11 and gave up just two hits and one run in seven innings against the Orioles last Wednesday. Phillies are 8-1 in Pivetta's last nine home starts and 13-3 in his last 16 starts overall. Phillies are 5-1 in Pivettas last six starts against Atlanta.

Philadelphia is 8-3 in its last 11 games and returns home from a 3-2 road trip. "To go home after a winning road trip, we have a lot to feel good about. We're ready, we're prepared for Atlanta," Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said to reporters Sunday. "We're excited about that series, and we're ready to roll."

I like Philadelphia to win a low-scoring contest.

Under is 6-2-1 in Rangers last nine overall. Under is 5-1 in White Sox last six overall.

In addition we can note that both Phillies' Jake Arrieta (3-1, 2.59 ERA) and Cards' Michael Wacha (4-1, 3.09 ERA) have been dealing lately. Arrieta has allowed just one run through his last two starts covering 13 1/3 frames while Wacha is coming off six innings of one-run ball at San Diego. He has held each of his last five opponents to two runs or fewer. Under is 4-0 in Phillies last four overall and 10-3-2 in Cardinals last 15 overall. Under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.

In addition we can note that San Diego right-hander Tyson Ross (2-3, 3.40 ERA) held the Cards to one run on three hits with seven Ks through six innings of a no-decision his last time out. The 31 year old has struck out 53 in 47 2/3 innings on the season. Pittsburgh's Ivan Nova (2-3, 5.01 ERA) has been lit up in each of his last three starts, but here he'll face a Padres side which has the third worst batting average across the major leagues this year. Under is 6-1 in Ross' last seven starts overall and 4-0 in his last four road starts. Under is 9-2 in Novas last 11 home starts.

In addition we can note that Houston's Gerrit Cole (4-1, 1.43 ERA) has been lights out this season and allowed just one run and four hits in six innings in a 4-1 win against Oakland on Wednesday. The Halos turn to Jaime Barria (3-1, 2.45 ERA) who tossed 5 1/3 scoreless innings against the Rockies his last time out and his teammats are impressed by what they've seen from the youngster so far. "You don't see a lot of young guys come up here and fill the zone up like he does," Angels infielder Zack Cozart told Fox Sports West. "That's the ultimate key in pitching is throwing a lot of strikes, and once you establish that, you can start working your way out of the zone."

Under is 12-2 in Astros last 14 overall. Under is 6-2 in the last eight meetings.

In addition we can note that San Francisco right-hander Chris Stratton (3-3, 4.60 ERA) should be focused for this contest after getting roughed up in his last three outings while Cincy's Sal Romano (2-3, 3.83 ERA) has pitched very well in his last two starts, allowing a total of two runs and seven hits in 11 1/3 innings ( against the Marlins and the Mets).

SUPER EARLY RAYS @ ORIOLES *DAYTIME DESTROYER*

The Baltimore Orioles beat the Tampa Bay Rays 9-4 on Friday and have now won four of their last five. They've scored 41 runs in the last six games but I'll think they'll win this contest with good pitching. Dylan Bundy (1-5, 5.31 ERA) has allowed 22 runs (19 earned) in his last three starts (nine innings). Poor stats indeed, but I think that'll make him zoned in here against a weak hitting Tampa Bay team. The Rays turn to Blake Snell (4-2, 2.40 ERA) who is 0-1 record in his last two trips to the mound despite allowing just three runs and 13 innings combined. 

Under is 8-2-2 in Rays last 12 overall. Under is 5-2 in Bundy's last seven starts after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game.

SUBSCRIBERS ONLY

Detroit has lost five of its last seven games and the injuries keep piling up for the wounded Tigers, most notably first baseman Miguel Cabrera and center fielder Leonys Martin who are on the 10-day disabled list with hamstring injuries. The Seattle Mariners own a respectable 21-15 record on the season after a 9-3 win at Toronto Thursday night, and I think they'll win a low-scoring contest here in the first game of a doubleheader. 

Marco Gonzales (3-2, 5.19 ERA) will take the ball for Seattle. He was tagged with four runs in six innings against the Halos his last time out but had allowed just a total of two runs in his previous two outings. The 26 year old southpaw has a great 38/6 K/BB ratio through 34 2/3 innings of work on the season and will face Detroit for the first time in his career. 

The Tigers turn to Matthew Boyd (1-3, 3.00 ERA) who lost his last outing Sunday, giving up four runs and six hits in seven innings against Kansas City.

The Mariners are 6-0 in the last six meetings.

SUPER EARLY OAKLAND @ NYY TOTAL

The Oakland Athletics opened this three-game series with a 10-5 triumph Friday night, but I think runs will be way harder to come by for both teams today. 

Andrew Triggs (3-1, 4.41 ERA) will take the ball for Oakland. The right-hander struck out nine while holding Baltimore to one run on two hits through seven innings his last time out. He is 0-1 with a 3.00 ERA in two career appearances against the Yankees who turn to Domingo German (0-1, 2.66 ERA). He fanned nine in six hitless innings while throwing a career-high 84 pitches in his first career start Sunday. The 25 year old has struck out 27 through 20 1/3 innings of work on the season.
