2-dime DOG early bird special goes early

[Pick Bot]

A’s +112 (2-Dime Free EB play)
The line is moving heavily in favor of the Red Sox here today, but I’m not buying in.  Many are anticipating Bucholz return off the DL but he was rusty in his debut start in the minors and hasn’t started out West all year long not to mention he has a 5.73 ERA in just two day starts this year.  This is a lot of firsts for a young pitcher going up against another solid pitcher in Gio Gonzalez with not much run support behind him.  Yes Boston has been banged up and runs have been limited without some of their stars.
 
Gio Gonzalez has been great and I see a lot of value with him as he’s 2-1 with a 2.05 ERA in his last 5 overall starts and is 4-0 in 5 day starts this year with a  1.30 ERA.  His 2.98 ERA at home is also solid and add in that Oakland as a team pitches well during the day with a team 2.79 ERA in 30 games during day play and you have a team that is poised with a lot of value here to take game 3 of this series.  Boston is just 2-6 in their last 8 in Oakland and 1-5 in Bucholz last 6 vs. AL West.
 
Boston is just 9-14 this year during day games with a  4.87 ERA while the A’s are 20-10 during the day with a 2.79 ERA compared to their 4.81 ERA at night.  This A’s team can pitch and I believe they’ll get it done here today.
