Top Pick for Wednesday 5-25-2011
OAKLAND -105
Trever Cahill has been getting it done no matter where he pitches home or away. His 3-0 record and 2.27
ERA on the road is proof of that and he goes up against the Angels who he has dominated in his career including a 2-1 record in 3 starts in LA holding a 2.36 ERA. Overall he's 6-1 in 7 starts with a 1.81 ERA and I have to add in that the Angels do not hit right hand pitching nearly as well at home as they do lefties and over their last 10 they are batting just .230 vs. RHP so Cahill should be able to put a solid pitching performance together against Ervin Santana who he should have the edge on.
Santana is 10-3 in his last 13 vs. the A's, but these A's active hitters have a .316 average and .820 OPS collectively vs. Santana over 196 AB. I expect them to get a couple of runs and the Angels bullpen has struggled at times this year. Santana is 1-3 at home this year with a 3.89 ERA while the A's have won 9 of Cahill's last 11 starts vs. the AL West. I think he'll take another win on Wednesday. I am betting the bank tonight on Oakland....I am that confident in this play at this price!!!!!!!
Pick Grade 1-5=5
Good Luck!!!!!
Go thundering herd!!!!
