Lost with Garland yesterday and got off a winner in CLemens so my week is now at 0-2 and Last 12 days at 19-6,Last 31 days at 56-22-1,Last 46 days at 76-33-2 and YTD 143-73-4. Tonight I like Pedro Martinez over Mil. and Santos in an easy one I hope. Pedro and Roger have the two lowest B.A. numbers in the NL at .187 and they both allow the fewest hits per 9 innings at 6.0. The next on my list is Prior and then Carpenter and I didn't play him last night either which is a bummer. I can't believe I passed on two of the top 4 pitchers in the NL and got on Garland who is 15th in the AL on my list. Tonight we also have Harden going against Silva and Harden leads the AL in B.A. at .190 and in hits at 6.8. Tomorrow the #2 guy goes and that's Zito at .215 & 7.2. Twins just not playing well and shouldn't put up much of a fight to Harden who has won 5 of this last 6 and only allowed over 5 hits in one of those, his last game when Detroit got to him for 12 hits but lost 8-4. Silva has been pitching very well for the Twins but still losing his last 3 and only allowing 2 ER's per game lately. The main thing to keep in mind here is that Oakland has only lost to Westbrook, Santana of LAA, & Garland in their last 20 games against Right Handers. 17-3 is what I call some domination. At least with a Lefty going against Oakland opponents see a 14 & 6 record over the last 20 and think they have a little bit of a chance! Good Luck Tonight!
