That's what I did. 0-6 Saturday now has me at 21-23, + 3.67 units.
Only 2 Plays: Both..erp… RL
Texas +115. 2 units RL. The White Sox have hit well this year, although are now slumping, but have not hit LHP well. Just .218 vs. LHP. Robbie Ross has been a great surprise, coming out of the bullpen, and being even better as a starter. But the main reason I like this is the wide disparity in the bullpens. Erik Johnson will likely get to the 5th or 6th IF he pitches well. That's a big IF. Johnson has no real "out" pitch and has been hit hard this year. The Rangers are also warming up at the plate as the White Sox cool down.
Oakland -115. 2 units. RL. One more time. I have seen Chavez pitch twice this year, and even though he is not as good as Gray and Kazmir, he has been very tough to hit. Great command of his pitches and rarely gives up pitches down the middle. I also like the disparity of the bullpens here. Mainly, I think Peacock is a desperation starter today. As a reliever, he has given up runs in every BP appearance this year- including 8 walks in 9 IPs. Peacock has the stuff that only works at AAA. He won't last, Clemens is unavailable, and this could get ugly. The A's seem to have it all going. Even though they didn't cover the RL yesterday, they found a way to win.
