Oakland Athletics vs. Seattle Mariners Pick

Posted on May 10, 2013 by Kyle Hunter

The Oakland Athletics red hot start to the season is now a distant memory as the team has fallen on some really difficult times recently. Cleveland just swept the Athletics in a four-game series. After jumping out to a nice lead in the AL West, the A’s are now just 18-18 on the year. Seattle is 16-19, but the Mariners are 9-8 at home so far this year. Let’s take a look at the series opener for Friday night.

Posted on April 12, 2013 by Adam Markowitz

Little known fact: Over 29% of all MLB games are decided by a single run! All too often, when we see a team’s moneyline record, it doesn’t necessarily correspond with its record on the run-line, and the differences have the tendency of being quite drastic. Join us today, as we dissect how some of the best teams have done in baseball on the run-line thus far in the 2013 MLB betting campaign.

Game 5: Detroit Tigers vs Oakland Athletics Picks

Posted on October 11, 2012 by Adam Markowitz

The 2012 ALDS series between the Oakland Athletics and the Detroit Tigers will wrap up on Thursday night at the O.co Coliseum with Game 5.

The home team has won all four of the games in this series, but Justin Verlander is going to be the favorite to make that trend stop to end this series. Though the truth of the matter is that Oakland had the home field advantage in this series, it would have felt like an epic collapse after going up 2-0 against the A’s.

Game 3: Detroit Tigers vs Oakland Athletics Picks

Posted on October 9, 2012 by Adam Markowitz

Home field advantage has held up thus far in the first two MLB betting battles of the ALDS, and tonight, the Oakland Athletics have to hope that that continues when they take on the Detroit Tigers, or their season will come to a crashing halt.

The Tigers knew what they had to do in the first two games of this series, and they did just that.

Game 1: Oakland Athletics vs Detroit Tigers Picks

Posted on October 6, 2012 by Adam Markowitz

The main portion of the MLB betting playoffs kicks off on Saturday night in Motown, where the Detroit Tigers hope to claim Game 1 of the ALDS against the Oakland Athletics.

It’s still amazing to think that Oakland is here in the playoffs as the No. 2 seed and the winners of the AL West. It was a remarkable comeback to get to this point, but now, every team is 0-0, and the A’s are clearly the team that lack the most experience and likely the most talent as well. Jarrod Parker gets the ball to start off this series, and he, like so many of the other Oakland pitchers, are about to embark upon the biggest games of their careers.

Texas Rangers vs Oakland Athletics Picks

Posted on October 3, 2012 by Adam Markowitz

And it comes down to the final day of the season. The AL West winner will be determined on Wednesday afternoon in the Bay Area, where the Oakland Athletics will hope to trip up the two-time defending AL West champs, the Texas Rangers.

The Rangers have fallen and choked away what was once a double digit win lead in the AL West. They need to win this game, or they are going to have to be playing in the Wild Card game on Friday, likely, but not necessarily at home.

Texas Rangers vs Oakland Athletics Picks

Posted on October 2, 2012 by Adam Markowitz

Last night, the Oakland Athletics clinched up a spot in the 2012 AL playoffs when they beat the Texas Rangers. Tonight when these two teams meet, first place in the AL West will be on the line.

The Rangers absolutely can’t believe that they are in this spot right now. They are now in a spot where they are looking back at the A’s, and are level with the New York Yankees for the best record in the American League, and New York will win that tiebreaker.

Oakland Athletics vs Texas Rangers Pick

Posted on September 26, 2012 by Adam Markowitz

Combatants in the AL West continue their pivotal four-game set in Arlington on ESPN’s Wednesday Night Baseball betting festivities, as the Oakland Athletics and the Texas Rangers duke it out.

Oakland is a heck of a team, and it just keeps showing the resiliency that is going to be needed to get into the playoffs this year. The team has a couple games of safety in the loss column, but both the Tampa Bay Rays and Los Angeles Angels are charging hard down the stretch.

Oakland Athletics vs Texas Rangers Picks

Posted on September 24, 2012 by Adam Markowitz

The Oakland Athletics hope to take one more step towards clinching a spot in the playoffs this year in MLB betting action when they duke it out with the Texas Rangers on Monday night.

The A’s just had a bad weekend in the Big Apple, as they lost two out of three and lost a couple games in the Wild Card standings to both the Tampa Bay Rays and the Los Angeles Angels. They still hold a comfortable three-game edge in the loss column against the Halos and four on the Rays, but this is the first of seven games against the Rangers left to play this year.
