major TRAP line in Toronto today.
A's are the hottest team in baseball, sending Tommy Milone to the mound who just had a shutout 10k performance against the Yankees, going against an injury riddled Blue Jays team. Yet the Jays are -115 favorites. if there ever was a trap line this is it.
and its solely based on this.
Away from Oakland Colissuem, Milone owns an ERA of 5.69, a full 2 points higher than his natural ERA, has giving up a gut wrenching 80 hits in just 61 innings pitched, while serving up 45 earned runs and a staggering 17 home runs. This is truely the type of pitcher Milone really is. This guy owns a fastball who sits at 85 and a change up at 79-80mph and that is ALL he possesses. He benefits greatly from relying on hitting the corners, pitching to contact and pitching a huge, spacious Oakland ballpark. Yet you see the results when he is not pitching at home to have that ballpark benefit him. He becomes a very below average pitcher.
