any opinions on the A's / Royals game?

[slimpickins]

Obviously not much is likely known about A's pitcher today from Mexican league.
Aceves from the Yanks had the same type of road to the majors previously and has done well but seems a crap shoot. Hochevar as well is a crap shoot, has talent but is more likely to pitch poorly than pitch well.

Overall A's been playing some of their best baseball of the year and the Royals have not been playing well but starting hitting better recently. They did go scoreless after a great 1st inning yesterday.
A's have a tough travel day to have to play a day game today seems kind of tough, haven;t played well on the road this year ; though better as of late on the road ; but I think they get it done today and I think at the price are a good value. The A's offense has been playing much better since Crisp got hot and should score some runs.

I am on the A's ML and a little on the RL as well. Think the better teams wins.

Anyone else on the A's or the Royals?
Smart play is likely to stay away from this game of unknowns and just play HOU tonight or maybe keep riding the Rockies.

I'm on the A's small right now but thinking of puting a little more on them? Both teams have crappy trends but the A's have been good against losing teams. Royals are also just arriving back home after 6 games on the road. Good luck to us

maybe the over?

From my records Hochevar has not started a game since june 6th,,and his last 3 starts were ugly
just take the over is my play,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Best in your decision,,,,,,,,,

stay away from rookies because you have no idea! they could have a perfect game, or they could give up 8 runs in the first!

Hochevar 9 inn past + Bull Pen if involved

2-5-5-9-11-2-6-5-3-2-7-4-5,,Last start was june 11th off by one week

Hochevar has been terrible, Royals are something like 2-10 in his last 12 home starts.
Was injured and came back with a poor relief outing, first start since June 11th as mentioned.
A's are 4-0 against Hochevar career.

Royals piss poor against Lefty starters.
A's 5-1 against Royals this year and swept them in KC previously this year.
A's are not good on the road but have played well as favorites.
But as mentioned with these rookies or inexperienced guys you never know what you're going to get.
