Sunday: 3-4-1, + 1.64 units. Lost another total. Hope you guys took my advice and didn't tail.
Oakland -1 (-131). One unit
Oakland RL (+120) One unit. Lost a long write up somehow. Here's the shorter version: Oakland's Milone has been very good at home, and the Astros have been poor vs. LHP. Batted .213 last year, and only .238 this year. Joe Saunders and CJ Wilson, 2 guys who haven't exactly been sharp this year, shut them down. Milone is better. Great repertoire of pitches and can strike out guys or induce grounders. The A's lead the mlb vs. LHP in both OPS and OBP. Bedard, in recent years, often follows a good outing with a poor one, is a head case, injury prone and won't go far into the game. A's have a huge edge in the bullpen. Astros also have benefitted from some poor Seattle pitching on this road trip, and the lack of Angel hitting. Astros whiff a lot and are poor fielders overall. Sorry about the short write-up- the other one was far better.
