Athletics vs Cleveland Guardians

This is a lopsided pitching matchup. Mason Barnett owns a 7.08 ERA and 1.62 WHIP — among the worst on the slate — and the Athletics lineup has been terrible lately (3.0 R/G, .191 AVG, .576 OPS in L10). Cleveland counters with Daniel Espino, who has a sparkling 2.92 ERA and 21 K in just 12.1 IP, showing dominant stuff in his limited sample. The Guardians are 6-4 in their last 10 with a W2 streak and are scoring 5.4 R/G over that stretch. The Athletics are 61-92 on the year, 4-6 in L10, on a three-game losing streak. The -229 price is steep but the edge across all three factors is genuine.
