I think the Yankees are in for a disappointing West Coast road trip

Thank you Bator for the great call. Looking forward to your next post

Mister

The trend ends today. Fiery gives up bombs to yanks

I don't see why not.  Here's what the A's have done in the first 5 innings of Mike Fiers' home starts since May 7th.

May 7th vs. the Reds, the A's led 1-0 (and Fiers went on to complete a no-hitter)

May 25th vs. the Mariners, the A's led 5-3

May 31st vs. the Astros, the A's led 2-0

June 17th vs. the Orioles, the A's led 3-2 (one of those O's runs was unearned)

June 22nd vs. the Rays, the A's led 2-1

July 3rd vs. the Twins, the A's led 3-0

July 12th vs. the White Sox, the A's led 3-0

July 28th vs. the Rangers, the A's led 1-0

August 3rd vs. the Cardinals, the A's led 5-0

August 15th vs. the Astros, the A's led 4-3

I don't recommend you do that.  The better play was last night's game.  I'm going to risk less today than I did yesterday. Bailey over German had some things going for it that Fiers over Happ does not.  I still see a sweep here, but this middle game is no lock.  Last night?  Lock City.

Here's an example of something last night's game had going for it that tonight's games does not.

When the line is close to a pick 'em, I much prefer to be on the side that appears to have the starting pitching disadvantage. The fact that Fiers is respected while Happ is not keeps me from unloading on tonight's game. I'll still be on the A's, but for less than I was last night.

Here's how the Yankees have done in the first 5 innings of J.A. Happ's 10 road starts.

April 6th at the Orioles, the Yankees led 3-2

April 22nd at the Angels, the game was tied 2-2

April 27th at the Giants, the Yankees led 6-0

May 20th at the Orioles, the Yankees trailed 6-1 (Happ was pulled after 3.2 innings and was charged with all 6 runs)

May 25th at the Royals, the Yankees led 2-0

June 6th at the Blue Jays, the Yankees led 6-0

June 13th at the White Sox, the game was tied 4-4 (Happ gave up all 4 runs in the bottom of the 5th.....what a bum)

July 4th at the Rays, the Yankees led 2-1

July 24th at the Twins, the Yankees led 9-7 (Happ was pulled after 3.2 innings and was charged with 6 runs)

August 9th at the Blue Jays, the Yankees trailed 6-1 

Yes.

Great work thanks 

Huge ump edge for Oakland

Any other action you wish to share?

Pirates +135 and +130. I love the Pirates today. I think these guys are about to take a step closer to winning their first home series since the All-Star break.

Pirates and A's

A's -115 in the first 5 innings

A's -115 and A's -1.5 +165

I recommend treating the 1st 5 inning and full game bets as two plays and splitting the full game bets between the moneyline and the runline.

For example, A's -115 in the 1st 5 innings for $1,150 and then $575 on the A's -115 and $500 on the A's -1.5 +165.
