Athletics -1½  +155 over Milwaukee

10:05 PM EST. The Athletics are currently in one of the strangest situations in professional sports. Having already left Oakland, they're playing most of their home games in West Sacramento while waiting for their permanent home in Las Vegas to be completed. This week, however, they're actually hosting games at Las Vegas Ballpark, the home of their Triple-A affiliate, and that matters because this venue plays nothing like a typical major league park.

We mention it because these two teams combined for 29 runs here last night. Milwaukee sent one of its best starters to the mound and it didn't matter. The ball was flying, runs came in bunches, and crooked numbers appeared all over the scoreboard. Early returns suggest Las Vegas Ballpark is every bit as offensive as Coors Field, and perhaps even more volatile because oddsmakers and bettors are still trying to figure out exactly how to price it.

The total for tonight's game is sitting at 12, which tells you everything you need to know about the expected run environment. In games like this, laying a run and a half with a favorite becomes far more attractive because one big inning can change everything in a hurry. We'll take our chances with the Athletics on the reverse run line, expecting another high-scoring affair in a ballpark that is quickly earning a reputation as one of the most explosive offensive environments in baseball.
