There will be another opportunity to ride this Mike Fiers first 5 inning streak coming up on Wednesday when the A's host the Yankees and J.A. Happ.

Speaking of opportunity, what about tonight?

The A's are almost 2-1 underdogs VS Verlander.

Yes, I'm on them again.  


Not the first 5 innings, though.

Just like last night, George Springer reached base for the Astros and then Jose Altuve erased him by hitting into a double play.  Not a bad top of the first for the short and pudgy Tanner Roark.

Let's hope that Roark hangs in there and the A's start ripping the baseball.

He’s battling his ass off.

The game is now in the hands of the bullpens, and that’s what you always hope for when daring to bet against a pitcher as consistently excellent as Justin Verlander. He had what is for him a very typical start - 7 innings, a couple runs, a bunch of strikeouts, no walks.....and in this case, still not good enough to win.

The Oakland bullpen, stout as usual. It’s time for the back of that Astros bullpen to crack.

Brandon Kintzler explained his ill-timed inaccuracy in the bottom of the 9th by admitting he got tired, and that his legs got "wobbly", lol.  Back-to-back blown saves and walk off losses for the Flubs in the absence of Craig Kimbrel.  What a shame.

I was chuckling at the idea of the Flubs being favored on the road yet again, but I woke up today thinking that they might be ticked off following another blown save and another walk off loss.  Ticked off at themselves, though.  The offense probably felt they scored enough runs in the series finale in Philadelphia and that the bullpen never should've blown a solid 5-1 lead in the bottom of the 9th.  Last night, though, the offense had to have felt that they didn't do enough to secure a win.  Anyways, that was just a thought I had, but then I checked out RLeith35's thread and found this...


"The Cubs are 8-0 with Jon Lester as a road favorite when their bullpen allowed runs in each of their last two games. Chicago won every game by multiple runs and the average final score was 7.75 runs to 1.75 runs"


Wow!  I like the Cubs on the runline at even money.
