Those are Fassero's stats since 1999. He is one of the worst pitchers in baseball. I will fade him every time he takes the mound as a starter for the Giants. His low ERA this early in the season is such a joke it is amazing.

Normal sized play because Oakland is pretty bad...but even their offense will score on Fassero. There is no way he keeps his ERA below 5.00 for much longer.

I agree with you on Fassero. I just cant pull the trigger on a bad Oakland team on the road. I will be jumping on the anti-Fassero train soon though.


good luck with your play

Haren has been extremely poor for Oakland so far. This is one of those games to avoid.

I hear ya...it is never fun backing a team with no offense (I learned with Houston). But I don't even look at who the opponent is at this point. Fassero can make any offense get well in a hurry. I faded him his last start (not even sure who they played) and it won. So I am 1-0 fading him.

I doubt this gold mine will be in the rotation long. His true colors will show anytime now.

Although Haren has been far from great, I don't think he has been that bad. His last 3 starts he has had to face Texas, Boston, and the Yankees. Not many people have a great ERA against those teams. He got lit up against the Rangers giving up 7 ERs in 3.2 innings. That will tarnish your ERA for a while. He has only had 3 bad starts in my opinion and those came against Anaheim, Texas, and the Yankees.

He doesn't get much run support normally so his record doesn't mean much to me. I think they will get him some runs today.

number 24 ranked oakland goes against number 18 sanfran.. equally bad pitchers in this one, will take a shot with home team giants..

agree on fassero however..

im on SF as a top play of the week, this value even was amazing. I give them a 60% chance to win this one.

60% with Fassero starting??? I wouldn't give anyone a 60% chance of winning with him starting, let alone a team that is 9-11 at home. Good luck though.

giants lost last night, they shouldnt get swept this series.. oakland is not very good on the road.. fwiw, value does lie with the giants in this one..

I hear ya SSI...but a 60% chance with Fassero on the mound is a HUGE stretch. There is no team in baseball that has a 60% chance with him starting...not even with the Yankees lineup behind him.

But from the start of this...they probably have a 75% chance! :lolBIG:

anything can still happen, fassero is still bad..... however haren is equally as bad. the over may be good again tonight..

Looking at this from a "Power Ranking" and from a 'Series System' standpoint, the giants were the play, getting plus juice at home was the topping...

However this game is far from over and im surprised by nothing..

They just hit for Fassero but ended up leaving the bases loaded...but a great outing for Fassero. Definitely proved me wrong tonight. I am still hoping for an A's win, but even if they can pull it out, it won't be because of the reason I placed my wager.

Is anyone watching this game on TV? I am, and I just went to mlb.com and they say that the wind is blowing out to center 29 mph. That doesn't seem right. There doesn't seem to be any wind at all. Either mlb.com just has an error, or that wind is very deceiving. 29 mph is humming!

Tough break Clip. I can't believe 3 runs in the 1st held up.:monsters-

game didnt go as expected but the value held up, this time..

this series for me is over, tomorrow is a no-play..

Fortunately, it wasn't a big play for me. But yea, I was very surprised at the final. Both starters pitched incredibly well. Giants actually missed a lot of scoring chances. Oakland had their shot in the 8th with 1st and 2nd and 1 out but that was really the only time they threatened.
