Trace Adams 1000* - Oakland w/Braden over Guthrie, 500* - Texas w/Millwood over Penny The A's have to be feeling good as they come back home from the Windy City, fresh off a sweep of the Pale Hose, as Oakland has now won 4 of their last 5, and will be hosting a Baltimore team that is a putrid 8-17 away from Camden Yards.
Lay the small home wood with Dallas Braden, as the southpaw looks to even his season mark at 5-5. Braden is 1-0 over his last 3 starts, and all 3 have been "quality", so you can expect him to hold the Baltimore bats in check in this one.
Jeremy Guthrie has struggled on the road this season, going just 1-2 with an ERA of 6.57. Then there is the fact that the A's won ALL 5 off the O's just a season ago.
Have to back Oakland in the opener this evening at the Coliseum.
1000♦ - Oakland w/Braden over Guthrie

Let's grab the take back cash with Kevin Millwood over Brad Penny tonight at Fenway.
No doubt the Red Sox are tough at home - 17-6 at Fenway, and no doubt Brad Penny does somehow sport a 5-1 record this season, but Penny's ERA is 5.63 this season, and at home it is over 6!
Texas just dropped 2 of 3 to the Yankees, and will be in a prickly mood tonight when they step in against the hitable Brad Penny.
Look for the Rangers to outslug the Sox in their home park tonight.
Kevin Millwood's season ERA is just a tick over 3, so I expect him to limit the damage the Red Sox can inflict, and let his team's bats take over against Penny.
Texas plus money is the call here.
