    Thinking about throwing 500 on the A's.
    Started with 50 in the account...Cashed out 150, then 600, and now have it up to 700...But that's beside the point..

    I took the under big last night in this game and unfortunately it went to extras and lost by 1/2 run. But I think Tommy Milone is gonna help me win my money back. He is an absolute STUD at the colliseum. In 8 starts, he's 5-1 with a 0.91 ERA at home. His only loss came to the NYY, who beat him 2-0. He then pitched against them 2 weeks ago and shut them out, by only allowing 6 hits and striking out 10. He has also beat offenses like the LAA, and DET at home. Oakland is 7-1 in his 8 home starts.

    The Rays are hitting .224 against lefties, compared to .233 against righties.

    Earlier in the year when Milone faced the Rays in TB, he was tagged for 5 runs in 5 innings. This was mainly because of his 3 walks and 1 hit batter in the first inning where the rays scored 4.
    I am having trouble finding reasons why the A's at home are only -112. If anyone is with me on this pick, or has reasons to go against it, please explain...

    Can't disagree, other than to say it is the A's.

    Good luck if you play it.

          Yea I really can't find any stat that is making me not do this. I guess I'm feeling like a pussy since I've never bet more than 250 bucks on a game...But you gotta bet big to win big right?
