Well, the second half of the MLB season gets underway tonight and I'm looking at the nationally televised game between Oakland and Boston. Oakland finished the first half of the season with 3 straight losses and 4 of the last 5 and sends Esteban Loaiza to the mound with a record of 3-5 (6.43 ERA and 7.05 on the road) coming off 5.1 innings against the Angels giving up 4 ER, 8 H, 4 HR, 3 BB, with 4 K's. Meanwhile, Boston finished the first half of the season winning 3 of 4 and 17 or their last 22 and send rookie sensation John Lester to the mound with a record of 4-0 (3.08 ERA and 2.57 ERA in his last 5 starts) coming off 6 innings on the road against the White Sox giving up 2 ER, 6 H, 0 HR, 3 BB with 3 K's. The A's average 3.7 runs against lefty's while the Sox average 6.1 runs against righty's. Hence,
1* Boston -1.5 (-108)(Pinnacle)
Year To Date Record: 9-4 (+6.24)
Good Luck All.
