The reason that the A's are picked to win this game is due to the pitching advantage that they have over the Baltimore Orioles. Dallas Braden, Gio Gonzalez, and Brett Anderson all have ERAs hovering around 3.00. These young superstars of pitching have been stellar all year, and they will no doubt continue their hot pitching against a slumping Baltimore Orioles club. At the plate, the reason why Oakland finds themselves under .500 right now is due to a complete lack of power numbers. Kurt Suzuki and Kevin Kouzmanoff are currently tied for the team lead right now with 8 HR. It is unbelievable to see a Major League Baseball team three months into the season not have one player that they can boast as being a double digit home run guy. Despite these shortcomings, the A's are the better team, and that will lead to a nice free wager for Oakland on Tuesday night.

The Orioles do not really have one glaring weakness, but they are bad enough in a number of different areas to the point where they currently hold the distinction as the worst team in baseball. A lack of production from players not named Luke Scott, Ty Wigginton, and Adam Jones really has Baltimore reeling, as they look for something positive to go into the All-Star Break with. It is important to note as well that their starting pitching has been atrocious as of late while the bullpen has been struggling with mediocrity all season. Jeremy Guthrie looks like he could be a real nice player in the future for the Orioles. He has the arm, the control, and the pitch selection that ultimately separates the good ones from the great ones. Unfortunately, he will have to develop while getting very little run support from his teammates. Guthrie is the future of this team, but he won't be sticking around if Baltimore can't give him something to work with. If you are putting your free bet on this game, make sure that it is with the Oakland A's.

The advantage in starting pitching, as well as the entire matchup, goes to the Athletics. They are just too talented in their starting rotation for the Orioles to do any significant damage that might cost Oakland the game.
