I like the A's here today with Cahill on the mound at home. In Cahill's first outing vs. the Angels he managed 5 innings and 2ER, but was pulled because he gave up 5H and 5BB so 10 base runners over 5 innings on the road, but he managed only 2ER. I applaud him for this effort on the road even though 5BB is a little embarasssing. Not to worry here as he has control at home for some reason just look at the numbers. He has half as many walks in more innings at home than he does on the road. Home = 13BB/59.2IP, Road = 28BB/38.2IP. He simply has the confidence at home and I think he will here again tonight as he faces the Angels without Vlad and Tori Hunter this time who were a combined 2-5 with a Walk last time against Cahill.

On the other side of the mound you will have Joe Saunders who has an 0-1 record 2.29 WHIP and a 11.57ERA in his last three starts. He has had success here against the A's in the past, but on the road this season he has a 5.75ERA compared to his 3.86 home. Oakland are killing LHP last 5 .375 average 9 runs per 9 innings. Their bullpen over that time also stronger than the Angels at 3.57 compared to 6.60. Take the A's!
