Oakland (-1.05), laying $525 to win $500.. this is not a banishment play but is a 5 unit play, which is my highest.. we sport a 26-12 record on these and over $6300 worth of real profit.. We like Harden and the A's in this one, even though its against Loaiza, we feel Harden is on his level and with it being his first outing against the Wsox, we like Harden.. Also the A's own the month of August the last 3 seasons and we expect more of the same this year. Also the a's lead the season series 5-3. Guess there are arguments for the other side as my friend 2head would atest to... see ya after the game, win or lose..
