I think this game is a lot closer than people are making it out to be. Starting pitcher won't be a huge issue for the O's as I'm sure Showalter is just as aware of Saunders outings as everyone else here and will use every single arm he can in this game at the first sign of trouble. Also, TEX in their last couple of weeks of play has just looked flat and that A's sweep has got them demoralized and pointing fingers at each other (at Hamilton at the very least). Their bullpen has been giving up a lot of runs with the sole exception of Uehara. Darvish is good but he's not a lights out low WHIP low ERA pitcher. One could argue that his wins were a result of the Texas offense throughout the regular season, which has not been as potent lately as a few key batters are in a slump.

I like the O's here at +180 based on the above.

Finally a good post.. Baltimore will use their entire pitching staff

Texas needs darvish to be sharp.. but he's a rookie and Texas bullpen isnt hat great

Going to be a close ggame

Exactly. For both teams. There are no invincable starters on either team.

Lol some of these posts are hilarious

This is a ONE game playoff... In baseball anything can happen in a single game

Remember just 2 days ago Josh Hamilton's dropped fly call? One error or one big hit can decide the ball game. A pitcher could be wild

Ridiculous to call any baseball game a lock even at -300 and that's why smart bettors don't lay high juice in baseball

Bad bullpen and offensive slump seemed to have been the story for the night
