Free Betting Pick: Oakland Athletics -121
The Reds are not a road team and not really that good of a team overall. However, with Gray going to the mound in this game it will be impossible for the Reds to have a good game here as the Athletics are playing decent at home and have been able to win games against competitive teams and they should be able to take the game here as well. Final Score, Oakland Athletics win 4-2.
