MLB Playoff Pick - Wednesday 10/04/06

Minnesota Twins -135 over Oakland Athletics (1.0 Units) - Perfect opportunity for us to get the Twins at a small price at home where they were 54-27 at home. They are coming off a home loss and playing as a medium range favorite in game 2. That favors the home team so long as it is a good home team. The Twins fit the bill. You will see the baseball zig-zag theory at work in this game. The fans know that a loss here pretty much dooms them with the first round being a best of 5. So the fans feel like it is a game 7. The players came into the playoffs playing well and are going to lay it all out on the floor.

Then you have the Athletics that are feeling like they stole one. They beat Santana this season in a rare year they do not hit lefties all that well. Loaiza is the wrong pitcher for the Athletics to put out there. His ERA is over 6.00 on the road. Then you have Bonser who home ERA is below 4.00. So you will see the home field advantage at work here today when teams are down 1-0 in the series.
