Pittsburgh at Oakland

The Oakland A's were pathetic a year ago. They were facing a 10 game road trip against the top three teams in the AL in Cleveland, Baltimore, and the NY Yankees. The A's eneded up taking four of the last seven games, and come home having to feel good about themselves. The A's through 29 games a year ago were 6-23 so the 12-17 is showing considerable improvement. The Pittsburgh Pirates got off to a surprising 9-2 start to the season. That was short lived and Pittsburgh has been just 5-13 since. The Pittsburgh offense has been horrible. The Pirates have scored just 28 total runs in their last 13 games, or just better than two per contest. I think we have the wrong team favored in this one. Make the play on Oakland.
