Monday bases

I know most of you are swimming in NFL/NCAAF right now, but I thought I would post this refreshing MLB post.

Minnesota at +162 @ Oakland

I think this game is pretty much a coinflip. Radke has been pretty good on the road recently, as the Twins have won all of his last four road starts, and seven of his last eight overall (with lots of good run support). He hasn't faced Oakland this year. Zito has been anything but great lately, with three straight bad outings, and he has suffered three losses in his last three home starts (including a tough loss against KC). Both teams have been mediocre as of late, so no momentum either way really. Minnesota is a middle-of-the-road road hitting team, and Oakland is the same at home. I just don't see any big edge one way or the other, so I'll take the +160 wood and bet the Twins to win.
