Cleveland at Oakland

The Indians have had a horrible season. Expected to make the playoffs back in April, they are in the midst of their worst season in about two decades. They have dropped ten straight road games coming into this one. They've scored just 17 runs in their last seven games. And, they start a pitcher today who is 3-11 on the season (2-5 on the road with an 8.08 ERA). So why aren't they a bigger dog here? Yes, Dana Eveland hasn't pitched well for Oakland. But that's not a reason to make this game close to even money. The Athletics are 30-23 this season vs. losing teams including 19-11 vs. teams at .460 or worse. Eveland is 11-3 the past two seasons vs. losing teams. Nuff said.
