Oakland at Tampa Bay

Oakland has won nine of their last eleven and sixteen of their last twenty-two and they're riding a season-high five game winning streak. Stick a fork in the D-Rays who are now 31 games below .500. Lenny Dinardo has a better record and better ERA than James Shields. Dinardo is 7-5 on the road with a 3.70 ERA and he's been on fire of late going 3-0 with a 2.84 ERA over his last three starts. Both of these teams' offenses are strange. They both score more on the road than at home. Oakland has had no trouble scoring on the road all season (5.1 per game) while Tampa Bay scores just 4.2 per game at home. Over their last seven, Oakland is averaging 5.6 while Tampa Bay is averaging just 2.3. The Athletics are just 28-38 on the road this season but break that out a bit. While only 12-29 vs. winning teams, they are 16-9 vs. losing teams!
