2 for Tuesday

quantumleap · Aug 15, 2006

I'm going to continue to go with the home teams that are doing well.

LAD -140 over Fla
Sanchez/Billingsley
Billingsley has given up more than 1 earned run only once in his last 5 starts.

A's -139 over Sea
Pineiro/Saarloos
----
I'm looking to pull the trigger on Colorado as Jennings has given up more than 2 earned runs only once in his last 10 starts. Maybe later.

Thanks teazer. That's in the back of my mind.

The Mariners just can't beat the A's. Looked like they had em tonight, got 4 runs off Zito but still found a way to blow it in the 8th. Don't see how they can get a W from Pineiro tonight, the guy just has awful stuff this season.

That's what I thought Addict. I laid-off the A's last night for the first time in a few days because Zito has been inconsistent. Saarloos hasn't been much better but the A's showed last night that they are willing to fight for the win.

Last night was an absolutely crippling loss to the Mariners. Up 4-3 in the bottom of the 8th with arguably your best reliever in the game in Soriano and to give up a basically game winning HR is just shattering to a teams confidence. I expect the A's to at the worse take 2/3 but most likely sweeping the M's out of McAfee.

Good point Addict. I didn't look at that factor of Seattle giving up. I just looked at it from the angle of the A's getting confident.
