Today's Free Pick - Simon

A new week has started, which means a new round of betting madness begins.  Let's be ambitious and go undefeated this week!  After taking a glance at the lines for tonight, there was one that simply blew my mind!
Oakland Athletics and New York Yankees under 9.5 @ -105 (1.95).


It's always tough to pick the under with the Yankees as they have such dominating power.  However tonight, Oakland puts Trevor Cahill at 14-5 with a 2.43 ERA and the Yankees counter with Dustin Moseley at 4-2 with a 4.53 ERA.  Even with Cahill on the mound, it's still going to be a tough, hard working start, but Cahill has a couple bonuses his way.  A-Rod is still on the disabled list for this game, as well as Teixeira!  As much talent and power as the Yankees have, these are two of the Yankees most accomplished power hitters.  Cahill has been rather untouchable lately, and has recently added in a very solid curve ball to his plethora of pitches.  He's a very dangerous guy who holds batters to a minuscule .202 batting average which leads the league.  The Yankees have also not been their usual dangerous selves only scoring more then 4 runs in two of their last 6 games.  Oakland is not a huge threat of hitting up bombs, as they literally have the worst home run total in the entire MLB.  Look for the game to be a low scoring affair.
