oak-la over

[ICE-BLOOD]

this play looked good early and looks better now with a complete la line-up.
line is rising on the over.
saunders has been so-so of late, oakland should get something off him.
gonzalez doesn't impress me looking at his stat lines.

what you think?

[ryanXL977]

gio gonzalez has so far been hjorrid
seen every start he has made
awful control

[ICE-BLOOD]

tons of walks, will la have the patience to take the free pass

[ryanXL977]

probably not, knowing garrett, torri hunter, vlad and the rest
other than teixera, they dont take pitches

[ICE-BLOOD]

white sox went yard on gonzalez 3 times...in oakland

[ryanXL977]

thats another game
the kid is young so its hard to know what you will get

[smitch124]

What would scare me off the over in this game...

Oakland on the road against lefties 2.65 rpg for the season!!

I was going to bet the over myself and Anahiem can get alot of the total themselves, but I like a better chance for both teams to score to bet an over.

[ICE-BLOOD]

i really dislike having an oakland and over together but saunders really hasnt been that good of late

[smitch124]

2 good bullpens too, the 5 inning total of 4 is -140 for the over.

[ryanXL977]

that i think could go over
i could see laa winning 5-1

Maybe not a good stat to look at, considering he was brought up in the White Sox system.

[ryanXL977]

the stat means nothing to me
but why does where he came up matter dash?

[Dashwood Clipper]

Being in a teams system, to me that gives the Sox an edge, they have every bit of information on the kid.

[ryanXL977]

oh
didnt think of that

add to that the he is so unbelievably wild with his pitches and you may be right

[rb4033]

I ON oakland.. Angels+saunders sucks!

[smitch124]

Hasn't gone over yet, but you were right on about Saunders he is way off...

[BadBeatBodog]

Saunders struggling towards the end of the year was inevitable. His FIP and xFIP are 4.52 and 4.80, respectively, much higher than his ERA. His LOB% is five percent higher than his xLOB, his 14.8% LD% is ~5% lower than league average, and his first half BAbip was unsustainably low at .248 Since the ASB it's a much more reasonable .288 and so is the 4.22 ERA.

[ICE-BLOOD]

in other words saunders isn't as good as his season total #'s. more likely to continue to struggle...even against oakland

Yessir! Regression is Mr. Saunders' worst friend right now.

[ICE-BLOOD]

amazing how some of these stats level out.
the other late game livanhern is getting tons of batters out to lower his #'s to respectability

[smitch124]

The Giants are a perfect team for Hernandez, I'm watching the game...they are all going out of the strike zone chasing his junk.

[ICE-BLOOD]

this fooking guy got me all messed up.
really dislike playing overs on these bay area teams
