I was going to pass on this game tonight simply because I don't really care for betting on sweeps, but seriously, I can't help but wonder why is the public so in love with the A's this year? They have bet this from Seattle -110 to Seattle +130?
The A's are historically a slow starting team, plus with the offense they have, I don't predict too many big innings in their future....which means they will probably have to win grind em out games more times than not, which makes them a ****ty play IMO anytime they're a fave of this much, especially on the road and facing a team who has 3X the offense they do.
Even if Dick Harden has a good game, chances are they won't have much of a lead, or any lead at all when he leaves, because IMO the futile offense of the A's negates the averageness of Batista....and if Harden has even an average effort, the A's are more than likely going to lose.
The wrong team is favored here IMO, and I had to bet on the sweep. Win or lose, Seattle is one hell of a value at +130 tonight.

My point exactly, Oakland is always favored or a ****ty underdogg for some odd reason. I am going to bet against the A's a lot this year, or at least the first half of the season.
how about all of the closers so far in the NL...gordon, julio, lidge......:beerbang:
I know, sad ain't it? I remember the days of watching baseball and once the closer came in, it was pretty much game over. How many real good ones are left? MAYBE 10 out of all the MLB teams? Everyone else probably falls into the category of very average or just plain bad.
