No, I don't have a bet either way but this A's/Tigers game is already over. Another blowout to add to the list.

between innings was a good time to live-bet Oakland in my humble opinion. Grabbed Oakland +2.5, these batters will make Scherzer work, they might lose, but w/ a 3-run cushion, I expect Oakland to make up some ground over the innings.

I wish I had Tigers's TT Over. The only bet that's for sure a winner now. A's bounce back and win tomorrow though.

YA this thing is done......A's had a chance to scratch 1 run, and they couldn't even do that. Oakland bats cant catch up to the heater...YES

Its too easy......cant believe I got the Tigers at -118 tonight. Who in the right mind would back Oakland in this spot against Scherzer?It just didn't make sense to me.

I agree I just hope the A's can cover my +2.5. That triple by Cespedes w/ 1 out and no run by the A's is a little suspect, they're generally great at producing runs in that instance, esp. @ home Reddick literally looked like he had a dick up his ass in that AB.

Jago....I don't like your bet sir...assuming you made it after the Top of the 1st. I just don't see how the A's are gonna score here. Not to mention, Detroit will get some hacks at the bottom of the A's pen....they wont be throwing Doolittle, Cook or Balfour tonight with a game tomorrow.

Well I respect your opinion but you have to remember this A's team had one of the best records at home, Colon is settling in, Detroit could and most likely will score more runs, but with this advantage in runs, teams will give up a run or two in the effort to turn a DP or a guaranteed out, I've seen many of the spreads covered in the playoffs or less than 2.5. - @ the bottom of the 3rd anything could happen at this point. I'd say I have a higher percentage of covering this, than Detroit, remember Detroit has a less than average BP if Oakland can somehow get to it. I don't see Oakland going away w/out a fight.

You may be right......but usually I can tell early how a starting pitcher is going to do. Earlier today, after that first inning, I didn't see how the Cards were gonna score on Cole.....and they could only muster a single run. I give the A's 1 run at most tonight.........can Colon give 3 more scoreless, and get 3 scoreless out of the their bottom tier pen guys? I don't know?

Not to mention....Scherzer is getting just about everything called a strike......while Colon cant get his corners, that's not good.

hahaha Patty........how is that gonna happen when Oakland can't even put a freakin ball in play? The ump has a hard on for Scherzer and gives him anything that's within 6 inches of the dish. Hard to score when your 345 cant put a ball in play Patty.

5th inning.....strike out, lazy fly ball, strike out. Im actually starting to feel a little bad for the 47,000+ fans who showed up to watch the opposing pitcher deal...and have nothing to cheer about. Detroit's offense has slowed down, and given Oakland an opportunity, but I see Detroit having a big inning here soon.

Crap....V-Mart cut down at the plate by Roddick.........but at the same time, what does it really matter? Oakland has shown no threat offensively.

WOW.....the longer Max goes, the stronger he gets. Truthfully, I didn't see this guy pitch much this year, but man am I impressed. He just goes right after these A's hitters, and they've squared up 2 balls in 6 innings.....incredible!

Scherzer is absolutely dominating. I guess his two-different colored eyes are distracting batters.

That Cespedes HR was a thing of beauty, just gorgeous swing, you knew it was gone.

I've been saying for a long time, if a hitter takes one deep and makes a pitcher look stupid by yanking one out and gets chin music the next time up for doing so, then how come the hitter can't throw his bat at the pitcher the next time up because the pitcher made him look stupid by striking him out on 3 pitches?Same silly principle
