DK: Sears only cleared this in 4 of his 11 starts last year and a season high pitch count of 86. The A’s are still undecided if he will stay in the rotation or head back to the bullpen so I would expect a 75-80 pitch count in his opening game. Sears had one of the slowest paces with runners on base last season so I expect him to struggle a bit in adjusting to the pitch clock. Love the fact we get this at even money and would bet down to -125 or so
