Lot of wood to lay but worth it. Tampa Bay won their last trip to Oakland but lost the 11 prior to that. They obviously don't make the long trip well. We were, in fact, on the D-Rays yesterday in their dog role. That was about Scott Kazmir vs. Blanton. Today the A's put Barry Zioto on the mound. He's posted a 2.61 ERA in his last three starts. And, he faces Seth McClung who has a 7.67 and 1-4 record on the year. In his two road starts, he's been blasted for 18 runs in just 10.3 innings! Throw in the fact that Oakland doesn't want to lose this series in only the second game, and we have a great favorite play here. His team is 40-7 with Zito starting in the role of big favorite (-175 to -250). That works for me.
