The Oakland A's are back to some young pitchers. Dallas Braden may be the most proven on their staff and is off to a solid start. Braden has started three games and has pitched three quality starts not allowing more than three runs in any of them. Braden was put into the rotation last year and gave them eight quality starts out of 10. He has now started 13 games and has pitched 11 games allowing three runs or less, so the A's expect to be in this one. Matt Garza is not off to such a good start as he has had control issues walking 10 in 18 innings, and pitching to a 4.58 ERA. He is not the only one struggling for the Rays who seem to have a World Series hangover as they are out of the gate very slow. I like the A's here to get this one as the Rays have yet to find their stride.
