This is uncomfortable & I would not go much lower (FOX line btw), but feel an obligation to let the books know when a line has exploded out of whack. This is driven up because the Rays haven't lost a game yet. Even the A's likely win here close to 1 out of 3 tries. The A's have no edges in this game, but Waldichuk is not an awful pitching prospect and the Rays won't sustain a team 159 wRC+.
