    Oakland vs. Pittsburgh total is 8 ????
    Great weather game time.

    Pirates Starter has an ERA of 13.5 and has been shelled in every start. He averages under 4 IP per start.

    1 Start the opponent ended the game with 20 runs

    Another Start the opponent ended with 15 runs

    While another start the opponent ended with 12

    Pirates have been scoring a lot of late, just giving up more. Their bullpen was used extensively in teh Rangers series and looks to be used a lot tonight.

    The Oakland starter has a decent mid 3's ERA but looks to be a little vunerable as well.

    Oakland -220 Parlayed to the over 8 pays about +260 and seems to have a great chance. Or just the over. What am I missing here and how the hell did they get 8 for the total here ?

    Cahill is a good pitcher, Oakland isn't really a powerhouse offesively, while the over looks good, the game easily end up 6-1 or 6-0

      I believe they are dead last in runs knocked in.

        8 is a fair line for this one. With Cahill on a hot streak and McCutchen just returned from the minors (after getting lit up in his first ML stint this season), they can't really place the total much higher or lower. I still think the Oakland RL is the play in this one. Pittsburgh's best chance for a win in this series was Friday night and they blew it.

          Buccos starter has had some solid outings of late in the minors but I'm still not buying it, I played the over 4.5 at even money for the 1H earlier today. I could easily see him blowing up one inning and giving 4+ in a single inning, the guy is brutal, just as bad as Morton IMO.

          And where did you get +220 with that par, seems a bit high with over a 2:1 favorite tied in with a standard juiced play. Either way good luck if you decide to roll with it.

              I meant +260 as you put, wouldn't you only get +260 with 2 -110s? How are you getting it tying in a -220 with a -110? I need to switch books.
