OAKLAND ATHLETICS -130 - Oakland had their 5-game winning streak snapped yesterday, blowing a 4-0 lead and failing to score in a bases loaded ? nobody out situation in a bitter 5-4 loss. I like them to get back on track tonight at this reasonable price with Hudson on the hill. Hudson is already one of the top right-handers in all of baseball, and he has had success vs. Anaheim, posting a 2.96 ERA with a 1.25 ratio in his last 10 starts against them. The A?s as a team are 8-2 in those starts. He is supported by a fine bullpen that has a group ratio of 0.94 in 25.2 innings this season. Lackey has been roughed up in both of his starts so far, allowing 17 hits in 10 innings with a bloated 8.10 ERA. One of those starts came against this Oakland club, where he allowed 4 earned runs and 11 Men on Base in only 5 innings.
