Oakland had a miracle comeback win last night, & I look for that momentum to carry over to the ballclub today, & Minny may be a bit demoralized after blowing the 10 run lead...Swarzak had a very poor outing at Oakland back on June 8th....lasting jut 3 2/3 IP, allowing 4 hits, 3 ER, 4 BB, 3 K's.Both bullpens are taxed, & I really like the A's in this spot, laying a relatively low # at home with a very solid pitcher in Braden taking the hill tonight. Braden is 5-4 in 10 home starts this season, with a 3.48 ERA and a WHIP of 1.274.......and Braden pitched very well at home vs Minny on June 10th...7 IP, 6 hits, 2 ER, 2 BB, 4 K's......and in 3 starts vs Minny in his brief career....Braden has a 2.89 ERA & a WHIP of 1.393 vs Minny. Minny is also just 14-19 vs left-handed starters this season & just 19-26 on the road this season.
