Streak Oakland

Betting Line For Rockies-Oakland Game is Enticing!

The 2006 MLB season has been one of streaks for several teams and the most impressive recent one was the Oakland A's 10 game streak prior to their trek to the Rocky Mountains! Oakland is one the verge of being swept by the surging Colorado Rockies and is you like playing home underdogs on the verge of a sweep tonight is the night.

In fact not only is Clint Hurdle's team +112 tonight, the over/under is 9 and that is surprising considering the fact that the A's have not scored a run in 22 innings.

Barry Zito seeks to win his sixth straight start on Wednesday as Oakland tries to salvage the finale of a three-game series against the Rockies at Coors Field. Zito (8-3, 3.51 ERA) is 6-0 with a 3.28 ERA over his last seven starts, including victories in each of his last five. The left-hander pitched eight strong innings on Friday, giving up three runs and eight hits while striking out a season-high 11 batters in a 7-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Rockies (36-35) have never seen, as Zito has never faced Colorado.

The Rockies have now recorded four shutout wins at Coors Field this season, the most in a single season in that stadium's history. Colorado also registered shutouts on consecutive days at home for the first time in the 14-year history of the franchise.

Slumping third baseman Eric Chavez went 0-for-3 on Tuesday. Chavez is 6-for-39 over his last 11 games, dropping his average from .285 to .262. Oakland center fielder Mark Kotsay returned to the lineup and went 0-for-4 after missing the previous five games with back spasms. Kotsay had hit safely in his previous eight games, batting .333 (11-for-33)!

The Numbers Favor Colorado!

Matt Holliday is batting .462 (24-for-52) with 14 runs scored over his last 13 games for Colorado, which is 5-0 in interleague play this year. The left fielder is 9-for-18 with five runs scored against AL opponents this season.

Manager Hurdle plans to give right-handed hitters Choo Freeman and Ryan Spilborghs starts in the outfield on Wednesday in place of left-handers.

Brad Hawpe and Cory Sullivan and the Rockies are 7-3 against left-handed starters this season.

Colorado's Jamey Carroll is hitting .423 over the past 14 games after going 2-for-3 against the A's. ... Oakland's pinch hitters were 0-for-2, stretching the A's hitless streak to 29 at-bats over spanning two seasons, including 0-for-19 this year.

Dare I suggest Colorado wins 6-0!

Which MLB division is better so far this year, the AL Central or the AL West?

There's good arguments on both sides.

For the AL West, The Texas Rangers are 37-28 and have been good. The LA Angels are heating it up (35-29) as people are coming off the DL. The Mariners have been a decent team all year (32-34) and are somewhat talented. The bottom of the smallest division in baseball are the miserable Oakland Athletic's at (28-37).

For the AL Central, the Detroit Tigers (35-31) have had good pitching from Jackson and Verlander, but the hitting's somewhat struggling and the rest of the rotation is ugly. The White Sox (31-35) can't seem to find a good streak going and the Twins (34-34) can't find ways to win. The Royals and Indians (29 wins apiece) have just had bad seasons all over the place (hitting, pitching, fielding).

So, in your opinion, which division is better? The AL Central or the AL West? Give reasons why!

The AL West has been the better division because unlike most seasons, one team hasn't ran away with the division like normal. While the Rangers are at the top of the division, the Angels have been in closer pursuit almost all season. Also, Seattle was at the top of the division to for awhile so even thought they fell out, their still in the division race. I wouldn't say Oakland is really bad...I mean their in last put they went on a 6 or 7 game win streak for awhile. I take the AL West..the teams have been a lot closer in the standings and have really stepped up their game.
