Seattle at Oakland

Pretty steep price to pay for pitchers that have exchanged places. Jeff Weaver has gone from not being able to get anyone out, to Dan Haren. Weaver carried a 14.32 ERA and all Seattle losses in his first six starts. He has since pitched to a 1.64 ERA in his last five starts, four of which resulted in Seattle wins. His last three outings have been good, 3-0, 0.79. Dan Haren has suddenly looks as bad as Jeff Weaver did. After allowing just 15-earned runs in 12 starts, Haren has now allowed 13 in 4 starts with each getting progressively worse. Haren has pitched deep into games in every start he has made, and the accumulation of innings may have him saddled with a dead arm right now. Oakland is just 7-12 in their last 19 games and has managed three runs or less in 10 of their last 15. Seattle is 27-15 over their last 42, and has played as well as anyone. Can't ever remember seeing a money line this high against a team that is hot, with the hottest pitcher in baseball on the mound, have to take the value here.
