5)Tampa Bay/Oakland (over 9,-120)
Lots of runs to be had in this one.
Halama goes for the Rays and has struggled for more than 2 months now. On June 18th, his ERA was 2.88............it is 4.72 now. On June 18th, the batting average against him was .203.........it is .262 now. He gives up a lot of homeruns.......7 in his last 26.2 IP and has some terrible career numbers vs the A's...............1.60 WHIP and .310 BAA.
Zito has not posted Cy Young numbers this year either..................1.50 WHIP.......4.70 ERA, and .279 BAA. He also is susceptible to the long ball, giving up 23 taters in 155 IP this year. In his last 6 starts, he has given up:
5 ER in 5 IP
5 ER in 6 IP
4 ER in 5.2
4 ER in 6.2
3 ER in 7
2 ER in 6.2
Both teams hit lefthanders better than righties and both teams are hot with the bats right now. Oakland has scored 25 runs in their last 3 games, and TBay has scored 24 runs in their last 4 games.
Lots of runs out there in this one.
