Sport: MLBPick Selection: Oakland A?s (Blanton) -104
Seattle Mariners at Oakland A?s 10:05 PM ET
Oakland A?s (Blanton) -104
The A?s return home following a 2-4 road trip and they catch a solid price thanks to the continued overvalue of Felix Hernandez. He has pitched well this season but he has struggled on the road with a 7.98 ERA as he has allowed at least four runs in each of his three road outings. H has dropped his last two starts against Oakland even though he has thrown well. The problem is both of those starts were in Seattle and now he must try to break his road ineffectiveness in a tough environment.
The A?s counter with Joe Blanton who has been anything but consistent this season. However, five of his first seven starts have come on the road and another start against the Mariners is just what he needs. His first start against Seattle this season was his best of the year and in his career, he is 3-1 with a 2.73 ERA in five starts against the Mariners. Oakland has won three of the first four meetings this season and 14 of the last 19 in this series and will add to that on Tuesday. Play Oakland A?s One Unit
