4* MLB *Afternoon Delight* on A's -123
We missed with the A's last night, but I'm not hesitating to come back with them today as they are 5-0 in their last 5 games following defeat (the Rays are only 3-8 in their last 11 games following a win).

The A's are 19-7 in their last 26 overall and 42-17 in their last 59 home games against the Rays.

Oakland also has the edge on the hill with Jarrod Parker, who has been brilliant at home (2.28 home ERA). The A's are 3-0 in his last 3 starts (5-1 in his L6).

The Rays' Alex Cobb has struggled on the road (5.18 road ERA). Tampa Bay is 0-3 in his last 3 starts (1-5 in his L6 and 2-8 in his L10). Take the A's.
