The Athletics have been going with a closer-by-committee approach late in games, with right-handed reliever Elvis Alvarado in the mix alongside lefty Hogan Harris and right-hander Mason Barnett.

So, I ended up with a pretty substantial six-prop betting card today for a Monday! If you want the... […]
