Late edition
No spotlight game as I am in a time crunch again,
but I will try to post some info...
San Diego +110
The A's are playing well, but everytime I turned around I found another reason to get on the padres. The pads play well in June and the A's relax after game one of a road trip:
3-12 in 2nd game of a road trip last 15 times
but this one comes dow to pitching, Zito is going down and eaton is coming up....
L3 for both
Zito:0-3, 7.27 era run support under 3
Eaton:1-1, 3.27 era opp batting .207 vs...
plus a little home field advantage does not hurt.....
Timmons behind the plate, Oakland is 1-1, and that one loss was zito was tossing the cow hide.
Behind the plate for the pads they have won four out of six and two of those wins eaton was on the mound.
Texas+118
Everyone is down after the ranger slow start so in my opinion I will take rogers and helling at plus money any chance I get. The bats are alive (37 runs last four games)!
Scott behind the plate ...texas is 7-3 in the last ten he has worked....
Angels +125
Thought hard about this one and was close to passing but again stats brought me home....
Angels:8-3 last 11 games
3-0 after a loss last 3 times
Schoeneweis:
9-2 last 11 starts
7-0 @ night this season
although ortiz pitches well at home, I go to the what have you done for me lately category...
L3: 1-1, whip over two, and era over seven...
Angels are also the hotter team and I will back them here.
Arizona /Cubs
I know it's on the deuce, but I have to pass on this one, lean towards the home team, but the cubs and tapani are hot, he is a little shaky at night.
all i want for christmas is a red sox / chicago cubs series....
