    Who is Pounding Colon against the Cards and Miller

    -106 and the A's are pretty awesome at home. Cardinals playing under .500 in the last few weeks

    To clarify, OAK .666 home winning percentage STL .650 road winning percentage. Not sure what 'last few weeks' is but Cards 13W-12L in June. Game seems a coin flip, good luck on your play.

    Is this Miller's first interleague game? If so, interested to see how he fares vs 9 hitters...

    I'm down with The As. Cards may single them to death but Colon seems to adjust well. Cards are fastball hitters, kinda worried bout that but Colons 2 seamer has nasty movement n I think he will use it a lot....

    I'm taking As for series

    I think As lineup will be set up for power hitting. Tough matchup, Colon is due for a loss but I think Miller has been settling into a funk lately also

    Somewhat of a coin flip of course I lean Cards but I do like As at home too
    This a statement series As will be looking for the wins just to know they can do it! Team will play hard as always

    exactly. and the A's do a good job of working pitchers pitch counts up. Shelby's a guy who pitches for Strikeouts and the A's can exploit this and get him out by the 5th or 6th inning.

    what i mean is the A's foul off a lot of pitches and generate a lot of walks.

    It's impossible to Cap a game like this with two of the best teams and two successful pitchers. If they played this matchup 10 times it'd probably end 5-5. Truly a coin flip. The only angle I can get on fading the Cards is versus a lefty starter they are terrible.

    interesting reverse line movement here...

    60% of money on Cardinals yet the line is moving the other way...

    maybe the books know shelby gets rocked tonight.

    The A's fan in me say keep betting against him! Haha

    Personally I feel like this game is a coin flip can go either way. Hard to bet against Bartolo though

    Bear I know you're rolling lately, but I don't like it, the Cards are a tough assignment for Colon.

    There isn't a logical reason to "pound" the A's today. They may win, but this matchup has to many "if's" to start putting serious bank into the outcome. I make Oakland -120, due mostly to the fact they are at home. Colon goes deep into the game most often, but strikes out few anymore....mainly relying on his defense to work. Miller, has given up 4 jacks in his last 16 innings, and it's his first interleague game......Notice the A's are 25-13 at home, but only 14-21 vs teams with a winning record. I don't have the exact stats in front of me, but if you subtract Oak's games vs. Houston and the Angels, they are around .500. There will be a winner, but this game doesn't deserve any "pounding", in my opinion. Good Luck on your action.....

    The fact that you are winning lately posting stupid shit like this literally makes me sick. That sentence makes zero sense.

    that was a true statement at the time i posted it which was about 10am eastern i believe.

    But by lunch time and all afternoon the A's got pounded by bettors everywhere and by game time i believe it was 55-60 % of money on A's.

    game is far from over its the 3rd inning but my main reason for taking A's was their ability to work the count against a rookie who is a strike out pitcher.

    That and i love the A's swagger

    There was no "RLM," and no one got "pounded" by anyone. You have no idea what you're talking about.
