Oakland is just a miserable club. Blackburn is a more than capable pitcher but he is laboring in obscurity with this mess. I would expect him to turn in a quality start and then turn it over to that pen which will do what they do, falter. And there is a more than decent chance we will be getting into that pen sooner rather than later. Fact is he has only gone as deep as into the seventh frame one single time in his last seven starts. We are actually getting a very decent price here. Keep in mind this Oakland team has won a grand total of eight games all season at home. Think about that. I am going triple here on Seattle.
No, it is not a game of the anything guys. It is a legit, triple star selection. Please just play it as such. Nothing more or less. Many sincere thanks as always and best of luck to each of us. Enjoy the game. Steve
