Wish I had seen this eariler. The A's are favored for a couple of reasons. They OWN THE GIANTS going 15-4, 10-1 and the A's won the last seven games, allowing the Giant's a total of 8 runs in 7 games, with 3 shutouts. That's an 1.13 ERA for the past seven games. The biggest InterLeague mismatch of all.
True, Lincecum is the best the Giant's have but he is better than Duchscherer in only strikeouts and record and Duchscherer dosen't have the pitchers spot in the AL to improve his stats even more.
