Baltimore at Oakland

The Orioles have been a bit better than advertised this season, but that hasn't translated for them on the road where they are 8-17. They are getting outscored on the road by a score of 6.4-4.0, or just about 2.5 runs per game. Over their last 12 games it has been even worse. They have been doubled up, having been outscored 66-33, or by closer to three runs per game. The A's have played poorly on the road, until winning four of five on their recent road trip, which should give them momentum coming home. The A's have also cashed in on 12 of their last 16 against teams with a road winning percentage of .400 or less. The Orioles have another problem as well. They are just 25-52 in their last 77 games against a left-hand starter. I like the A's to take this one.
