This is a Free play on the Oakland Athletics.
The
A's won Game 1 in a pitcher's duel between James Shields and Jarrod
Parker. Adam Rosales hit an eighth inning home run to seal the deal for Oakland,
as they came from behind for the victory.
Oakland will
send Tommy Milone to the mound in Game 2, and he's coming off a loss to
Seattle his last time out. Tommy has always been a better pitcher in his
home park, and this season is no exception, posting a 2.63 ERA at O.co
Coliseum compared to a 4.93 ERA on the road. He's also been good against
the Royals, posting an ERA of 1.20 in his last two starts.
Kansas
City will hand the ball to Ervin Santana, who's been slipping up after a
good start to the season. Santana (3-2, 2.79 ERA) allowed four runs on
eight hits over 6 1/3 innings in a 4-2 loss to the Mets his last time
out. Prior to that he took the decision in a 4-3 loss to Baltimore.
Yoenis
Cespedes is 2-for-6 lifetime versus Santana, but both of those hits
went out of the ballpark. John Jaso also hasn't been fooled, he's
7-for-14 with a home run versus the right-hander.
Oakland appears to have quite a favorable matchup here at home, and the price is very reasonable.
Take the A's.
