Oak/Ana
- Thread starter Theboundbook
- Start date
OAK +1.5 runs (-165)
Although Lidle has not been up to snuff with his rotation mates (Zito, Mulder, Hudson) with a less than stellar 3-8 record and an ERA just topping 5, he has fared well vs. these Angels.
In six appearances vs. the Halos (5 starts), he is a very respectable 2-1 with a 2.57 ERA.
Ortiz, however, has been going in an entirely different direction against the A's. In back-to-back starts against Oak in April, Ortiz managed to give up 7 runs, 14 hits, and 5 walks over 12 and a third inn. In 5 career starts, Ortiz is yet to get a "V" against these pesky A's, going 0-4 with an inflated 7.07 ERA.
I like OAK to give Lidle a fair amount of run support in this one. I don't predict a high scoring affair...which especially favors Oak getting the run and a half. Unless the Angels pick today to fix their offensive problems, I don't see them winning this game and certainly not by two or more runs---and I'll take the little insurance considering what happened to me on Bost the other day. GL today.
