New York at Las Vegas

The Yankees will be in their most vulnerable spot as they call on newly acquired Chad Gaudin to face the A's tonight. Oakland is a team built around on base percentage and patient hitters, and since Gaudin walked 100 batters in an Oakland uniform in '07 in just 199 innings you know they will be taking a lot of pitches. Gaudin has already walked 57 in just 108 innings this season and his ERA was over five in the NL. The A's lost Brett Anderson's first six starts, but are now 7-2 in his last nine as he begins to figure things out and certainly is capable of a gem, more so than Gaudin. A's are playing well in the role of an underdog, winning six of their last seven and I'll go with them in this one.
