    Give me a reason NOT to take the Oakland RL tonight

    I'm thinking of going big on the A's and am trying to play devil's advocate with this play.

    I like Cahill a lot. Very underrated in my opinion.

    The No. 1 "expert" on Oakland games at covers.com picked Pittsburgh.

    I have the OAK RL as well. Solid play, IMO.

    Also love the BOS RL

    I like Oakland, Boston and the White Sox. Feel like I'm being set up with the A's; probably just overanalyzing.

    BOL, sk.

    I don't think so. PIT had their best chance last night against Sheets and blew it. I expect them to get swept in this series.

    I have the U9 in the CHC/CHW game rather than a side.

    I like the under too, but something's telling me to stay away.

    I think Silva gets hit pretty hard tonight facing a red-hot AL lineup. He is traditionally a horrible road pitcher, which means he's due for a bomb.

    Stranger things have happened... Right now I can't believe that I'm seeing Kawakami pitch 4+ scoreless innings after I took the DET TT O4...

    Kawakami's better than his record indicates (that almost goes without saying), and Detroit's been known to completely disappear offensively from time to time.

    I skipped this game altogether. I'm actually more surprised that Scherzer's pitching this well against the best home team in baseball.

    Looks like I won't have to make a big bet here after all:

    Parlay (5 Teams) 06/26/10 14:38 ET bet 5.00 to win 103.54 Result: Pending

    Astros(Houston) Banks 2
    Rangers(Texas) Wilson 7 06/26/10(15:05 ET)
    Rangers(Texas) -1.5 (-150)

    Cubs(Chicago) Silva 2
    WhiteSox(Chicago) Garcia 3 06/26/10(19:10 ET)
    WhiteSox(Chicago) -122

    Diamondbacks(Arizona) Kennedy 3
    Rays(TampaBay) Price 5 06/26/10(16:05 ET)
    Rays(TampaBay) -1.5 (+110)

    Pirates(Pittsburgh) McCutchen
    Athletics(Oakland) Cahill 06/26/10(22:05 ET)
    Athletics(Oakland) -1.5 (even)

    RedSox(Boston) Buchholz 4
    Giants(SanFrancisco) Bumgarner 2 06/26/10(19:10 ET)
    RedSox(Boston) -142

    Have this riding on the A's RL, so I'm taking PIT at +1.5 for about 30% of this to hedge. Still rooting for Oakland obviously, but win-win for me.

    I just found a reason... Those ugly yellow uniforms. However that might disrupt the batters more than anything....

    I've also played the Angels O9.5. Hoping these two erase the tough losses on the Marlins & Tigers.

    I probably flushed $30 for no good reason by hedging with the Pirates here, but I had to do it just to be safe.

    Hit the parlay -- third of 20:1 or more in the last two weeks. Missed quite a few more during that stretch by one as well.
