07/22/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Losers of two of their last three, the Baltimore Orioles conclude their West Coast swing this afternoon at McAfee Coliseum as they face off against the Oakland Athletics in the finale of a three-game set.
On Saturday night Oakland was paced by pitching ace Dan Haren who won for the 11th times in as many chances when his team gives him at least two runs of support, claiming a 4-3 triumph at home.
Haren allowed three runs on seven hits and struck out seven over 6 2/3 innings, while Alan Embree posted his 10th save of the season out of the bullpen.
Jack Cust had a pair of hits, one of them a home run for the A's, while Travis Buck, Mark Ellis and Mark Kotsay each scored in the victory as well.
The O's were paced by Kevin Millar, who plated two, while Corey Patterson knocked in a run and also scored in the setback. Steve Trachsel suffered the loss, permitting four runs on nine hits over 5 1/3 innings.
A couple of youngsters battle it out on the hill in this afternoon's meeting between the clubs as Jeremy Guthrie throws for the Orioles and Dallas Braden takes the ball for the home team.
Guthrie, who played three seasons with the Cleveland Indians but only pitched a total of 37 innings during that stretch, has spent some time coming out of the bullpen this season for Baltimore, but is now in the starting rotation.
On Tuesday the Oregon native snapped a two-game slide as he allowed two runs on six hits over six innings against the Seattle Mariners on the road. With his three strikeouts the right-hander, who is 0-1 in his career versus the A's, surpassed the 100 strikeout plateau for his career.
On the other side Braden, who spent time at Triple-A Sacramento recently, has dropped four straight decisions since earning his first and only win of the campaign against these same Orioles back on April 24. More recently the lefty gave up four runs on eight hits, while striking out a career-high seven, over six innings of action in a 4-1 setback to Texas on Monday.
Baltimore, which is 14 1/2 games out of contention in the American League East and now 10 games under .500 on the road, is hitting a strong .290 over the last six games, with Patterson and Nick Markakis tied for the team lead during that span with 11 hits and five runs scored.
As for the A's, 10 1/2 games out in the AL West and still a game under .500 (25-26) in their own stadium, they are hitting a mere .216 in the last week and while Ellis paces the group with seven hits, he has just a single RBI to show for his efforts.
Since going 0-7 overall against Oakland back in 2004, the O's have won five of eight games played in the bay area in spite of last night's loss.

MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
