Pick #7: Patrick Sandoval(LAA) under 18.5 outs recorded (-195)

Another one that has been moving around today.  That's a good sign for me but, a bad sign for anyone who didn't jump on this early.  Most books now have this line at 17.5 which takes away the inning break.  I don't like it nearly as much at 17.5 as I do at 18.5.  Here's why.

Oakland's offense is bad!  They are in the bottom half of the league and near the bottom in RBIs, OBP, and almost any other significant offensive category that you can look at.  But, they have shown some signs of life lately, averaging over 5 runs/game in their L5.  And as bad as they have been, only four out of 24 starters this year have gone past the end of the sixth inning against them.  The list of starters to record 7th inning outs against the As this year is limited too: Kyle Gibson(6.1, Go Os!), Drew Rasmussen(7.0), Jeffery Springs(7.0), and Hayden Wesneski(7.0).  The list of pitchers who left before the 7th includes: deGrom, Stroman, Ohtani, Beiber, and a few other talented arms who can eat innings.  That makes me confident enough to bet Sandoval will be done in the 6th or before.  Here is the inning count for starers against the As this year...sorry I couldn't get the whole list in a Screen Shot.

The Pine Bot still has the line at 18.5 even though it has moved to 17.5 on most books.  He REALLY likes it there so, hopefully it swings back or you can find 18.5 on some book and get in on the action.  I'm locked in.
