Cool 1Play @ 10:05 that DOES make SENSE

Was very close to pulling the trigger with Pitt tonight over Houston, but.... found one better - I hope:

Angels do not have a pitching advantage in this game. At a quick glance, one would see a 10-5 Haren up against a 1-5 McCarthy and automatically think there is a major advantage. However, there are a couple of advantages the A's have that balances the teams out. Here's 1: Home advantage. A second: The Coliseum takes away hits and produces more outs with all of that foul ground territory...one of the better pitcher's ballparks. Nobody knows the layout of that field better than A's players.

I'm still not convinced the Angel's O is all that great. Granted, the Angels did get to McCarthy earlier in the season, but Oakland showed back on May 24th they can hit Haren as well - scoring 5 runs on him in 7 innings.

Oakland has been competitive with the Angels this season - leading the season series at 5-4

Vegas has that line set low for a reason. It should be a good, low scoring game and I'll take the + money home team

I'll take Oaktown +118 tonight @ 10


1-2 With Don't make sense Plays
