OAKLAND A's -135

I really like Oakland tonight over the Indians. Tommy Milone is pitching tonight and at home he is a BEAST! The guy has a 2.13 ERA at home in 10 starts this year. You wont get the flashy strikeouts but this guy can straight up pitch. The A's have a very fun team to watch....they found a gem in Cespedes and made a star out of Reddick. The A's are above .500 and no one expected that. I take the A's and Mr Milone for sure tonight..........thats MONEYBALL!

Extra - Fantasy Football - BRANDON LLOYD.
Remember when Randy Moss first came to New England and Tom Brady had someone to go play fetch with? Moss caught 98 recptions for 1493 yards and 23 TOUCHDOWNS!!!! I'm not saying Lloyd is Randy Moss or is going to replicate those stats but he sure will have a MONSTER year. Tom Brady can dink and dunk to Wes Welker or zip a 100mph football to Big Gronkowski but what he really loves is throwing the deeeeeep ball. He hasnt had someone to throw deep to since Randy Moss. Here comes Brandon Lloyd someone who can run deep and go get it. Someone who can stretch the field, someone who makes more amazing acrobatic catches than anything. People on the Patriots are amazed at the catches Lloyd can make. Now should you use a second round draft pick on him? of course not.....however, I honestly believe that a good fantasy owner should always reach to get a player they really want. I can't tell you how many times the player I wanted got drafted 1 or 2 spots away from. All because I wanted to wait just a little longer. You wait long....you pick wrong.
