Oakland at NY Yankees

The NYY are winners of 8 straight & are kickin ass & takin names.
They traded away Holliday & it shows already for Oakland.As for St Louis it gave them more firepower to add with their already potient offense,as Holliday went 4 for 5 with 1 era yesterday.I didn't think that he would be in the lineup that quick.I probably would of laid off Philly last night if i would of known,that is why Philly was a added play for me meaning the lowest play as it was on bottom of list for me.Probably caused me the sweep,oh well!! Back to my play:Petite goes to the rubber for the Yanks and he will try and repeat his last game where he went 7 innings only allowing 1 run.Recently he has a 1.57 ERA in winning his last three starts against Oakland. Pettitte is 11-5 with a 3.24 ERA in 20 career outings versus Oakland.At home he is and 7-2 with a 2.93 ERA in 10 home starts.
Gonzalez for Oakland is god awlful,he sucks bad & the Yankees should have a field day with this guy. At Minnesota in his last outing he gave up 11 runs in 2 innings. Gio Gonzalez is 1-2, 9.33 ERA for the year & this is his 1st time facing the Yankees, GOOD LUCK with that one.

The line opened at -250 & jumped as high as -320 to -300 right now,my bad,for it jumped to -320 again in 30 minutes or less,shit!! & the RL has jumped from the last time (this morning or last night) -150 to -160. Damn,
thats the same as a high money line!! Almost tempted to take the over total instead,but always go with your 1st instinct.

Oakland is 2-5 SU in its last 7 games on the road
Oakland is 0-5 SU in their last 5 games when playing NY Yankees

weather conditions for the game: Mostly sunny. Winds blowing out right field at 5-15 m.p.h. Game-time temperature: Around 85. no rain

NY Yankees-1.5 RL (3 units)

Lets try a total as an early play also:

Minnesota at LA Angels

The under is 22-7-2 in the Twins last 31 games as a road underdog as they take on the Angels in LA today. The under is 5-1 in Blackburn's last six road starts and is 8-2 in his last 10 overall. For the Angels, Palmer goes and he has been very good this year. The Twins have not been hitting of late and we don't expect them to get much off of Palmer.

"Under" the total 10 ( 1 unit)
