**Record 4-1**
Oakland goes into the Trop. for the third and final game of a 3 game set with 2-1 Joe Blanton on the mound vs. Tampa Bay's 0-4 Edwin Jackson. Blanton is having a solid year with a 3.83 ERA while Jackson has really struggled boasting a 7.36 ERA. Both teams have been fairly inconsistant this year, however Jackson has not won a game up to this point and i dont see him doing it here either. The A's do have some key guys out with injuries and have struggled to score runs as of late, Jackson may just prove to be what they need to get their offense rolling.
Oakland A's -134
