April 7th Sports Wager of the Day!

Game: Oakland Athletics vs. Los Angeles Angels
Sport: Major League Baseball
Pick: OVER 9.0 runs

Reason for Pick:
The Angels SP Moseley was 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA in three games against the Athletics last year and is 1-1 with a 7.57 ERA against the A's in seven career appearances. This Oakland team added Jason Giambi, Normar Garciaparra and Matt Holiday in the off-season, all of whom are hitting .500, .667 and 1.000 against Moseley. Moseley's struggles against the Athletics are not going to change for the better anytime soon.

Opposing Moseley will be Athletics SP Trevor Cahill who is making his major league debut. He is the 11th ranked prospect by central scouting at the age of 21. Cahill has never reached the triple-A level as he split his time last year between single and double-A. Cahill himself knows it's different at the major league level as he struggled in his last spring start giving up three runs in the first inning.

"I felt, personally, just trying to get used to pitching in a big league stadium," Cahill said after the game. "Looking around ... it was an adrenaline rush."

Cahill, a Southern California native, will have several friends and family members in the stands for his coming-out party. If he had difficulty battling nerves in a spring training game, then what do you think he's going to be feeling in his major league debut with his friends and family watching? I wouldn't be surprised if the Angels' solid lineup gets the over just by themselves.
