A's (-110, O/U 8.5): Sean Gallagher gets his first start for the A's tonight after coming to Oakland in the Rich Harden deal. The A's are hoping Gallagher fares much better for them than he did for the Cubs. Gallagher hasn't recorded a win since June 1 and Chicago had lost five consecutive games with him on the mound. The one bit of good news is all five of those losses were on the road. Gallagher performed much better in his home starts with the Cubs, going 3-0 with a 3.52 ERA.
The OVER has cashed in each of Gallagher's last three outings.
