WHy is Texas favored here?
reputation? padilla's decent on road? all those big bats?
I think people going looking for late play and look for a winner with small juice, and texas fits this mold, dodgers might also, but i wouldnt bet on braden looper to fade this type of thinking.....But the A's are definitely a team to play here to counteract the "ill take a small favorite" way of thinking that often loses......
kinslers hurt, oakland is a last place team, but they have been playing well lately, last night s game wasnt even close....6-0 shutout.
The night be4 they stole one from texas late.
I dont see why they dont sweep here. (yes i think they win tomorrow also with cahill)
