These two teams combined for 32 runs in their first two games of this series. Chicago is hitting .273 as a team on the road and have a favorable matchup against Jeffrey Springs, who just had a great outing in Seattle, a very pitcher friendly ballpark. Jameson Taillon allowed six runs to the Diamondbacks, on the road, in his first outing of the season and even though the Athletics lineup isn’t as potent as Arizona’s, they’re still hitting .261 as a team at home.

We are big Jeffrey Springs guys around here. Dude was looking like yet another amazing discovery for the Rays and showing Cy Young potential before his latest setback. Jameson Taillon is looking like a guy whose best days are behind him and I believe in this A's lineup and expect them to have a decent advantage over time playing in their minor league ballpark.
