00:0010 o'clock start tonight from Sacramento. Detroit's going to head out there. Tarek

00:03Scoobles on the mound to get his look at that little carnival atmosphere in Sacramento where

00:08it's not a true pitcher's ballpark to say the least. He's going to take on JT Ginn,

00:12but also the total here listed at nine in the Scoobles start. It tells you everything you need

00:16to know. And also Detroit favorite overnight, minus 230 or so. That number is coming down.

00:22You see the graphic on the screen, minus 220. It's now dipped down to around a minus 200

00:26at many outlets. And again, that total at nine. Tarek Scoobles in a hitter's ballpark. Does it

00:32matter tonight? Can the A's get to Scoobles? Well, they did the first time they faced him

00:37back at the end of June, right? They got four runs, six hits over six innings. He was giving up home

00:43runs and that was in Detroit. So now he's going to an absolute hitter's ballpark here. Listen,

00:51is Ginn going to shut down Detroit? Probably not. But I think the idea that runs aren't coming

00:57is crazy. But you notice it's not that $3 price anymore with Scoobles because he has actually

01:04come back down to earth here in the second half a little bit. So yeah, I got no problem looking at

01:10the athletics, getting a run and a half in this one. I think the bats could save the day for him.
