Hit the 5 unit play, although it was a close one. That's what makes a large play good, that not all factors come through, but it still can win. Kuroda pitching that well was not expected, as was the A's poor hitting through 7. A's BP came through big. It looks the totals play on the Dodgers- Sox is a loser, and might I say that the Dodgers suck. They have so much money and talent in that lineup, and yet can't even get more than 1 run off of Noesi. At home. Or maybe Dodger Stadium is really the ultimate pitcher's park.
1-2, About +3 units
A's -1 (+104) 3 units. Would take this for more, but Chavez has cooled down since his hot start. Nevertheless, I don't expect Vidal Nuno to get the job done for the Yankees. He is a soft tosser that has no plus pitches, unusual for a soft tosser. He is a HR magnet- 9 HR in 47 IPs. And the A's have the power hitters to make him pay. He is an extreme fly ball pitcher which is never good in Yankee Stadium. Has a 7.94 ERA in Yankee Stadium. Chavez has been reborn as an A. Has added a splitter, good command, and is very effective at pitching in and out of the strike zone. The A's also have the better bullpen. The Yankees struggled all weekend against worse RHP, and in the preceding weeks, and couldn't get to Kazmir( a LHP). Finally, the A's are an excellent road team, the Yankees are still overvalued and their demise is inevitable.
