No MLB play yesterday(only play was Tiger to win the Open). Won Sat with <br>Cin. 12-5-3 on last 20 plays(trying to catch up to Murph, Big Joe and <br>Dub, but still way they hell behind. Props out to you boys.)<br>
<br>Best matchup of the day is the last one on the card. OAK @ ANA. OAK is <br>6-1 in their last 7 games, winning 3 of 4 from 2nd place TEX over the <br>weekend.<br><br>ANA, who lost 4 straight before the break, in their weekend series, <br>impressively took 3 of 4 from MIN at the Hump Dome, mostly with very solid <br>pitching and defense.<br><br>Oakland is better in a number of key stats in tonight's contest. They <br>have a much better pitcher in Saarloos vs Santana. Saarloos has a 2.61 <br>era in his road starts and 2.45 era in his last 3 starts(vs CWS, @CWS, <br>@SEA). Ervin "Magic" Santana has been anything but magical this year, <br>with an overall era of 6.20 and 9.75 in his last 3 starts.<br><br>Besides the stats, the timing of this game is a big advantage for the <br>A's. They only have to fly down from the Bay area to the Southland. The <br>Angels, on the other hand, have been on a 4 game road trip(5 days total) <br>and now are being required to play at home on back to back nights , which <br>makes the timing of this game a little more difficult for them. <br><br>OAK takes the 1st of the 3 game series in a lower scoring affair at the <br>Big A.<br><br>(923) OAK +127<br><br>"The sun don't shine on the same dog's ass all the time."<br>Catfish Hunter<br><br>GL
