really oakland should not lose 9 out of 10 times with Duchscherer against Burnett. That's basically a pick'em game as illustrated by the line so probably if they played ten times with this matchup they split. Oakland has been besieged with injuries and then getting rid of Harden but Duchscherer is very good so they should have a good shot. I will not play them because I don't like to play teams on long losing streaks. Better to ride a streak than fight it. I liked Oakland two nights ago but did not play them and they blew a lead in the bottom of the 9th inning. Those are the type things that happen when you are on prolonged losing streaks. It's a no play for me tonight.
