This game is very similar to my yesterday MLB pick. Indians are with L 3, all 3 losses versus Athletics, trying to avoid "a sweep" tonight. Athletics have W streak 5 and they are one of the biggest surprises this season. But the season is just starting..

Clipp Lee is the one who I trust a lot tonight.

Info on starters, mlb.com:

A's: Gaudin made his season debut in his last outing against the Blue Jays. The 25-year-old righty started the season in the Minor Leagues rehabbing from offseason hip surgery. The results were mixed in his start against Toronto. Gaudin allowed six runs -- five earned -- on eight hits while striking out three over four innings of work. Not the best of pitching lines but all of the earned-run damage came on home runs to Toronto center fielder Vernon Wells and second baseman Aaron Hill. Without those two mistake pitches that were left up in the zone, Gaudin's night would have gone a lot smoother. Gaudin is 2-1 with a 5.47 ERA in nine career outings against the Indians.

Indians: In his return to the Tribe rotation on April 6 in Oakland, Lee looked much more like the 18-game winner he was in '05 than the demoted disaster he was in '07. Lee was solid for 6 2/3 innings, allowing just an unearned run on four hits with a walk and four strikeouts. He got ahead with his fastball and began working his changeup into the mix more often as the game wore on. If Lee can keep up that type of performance this season, the Indians' rotation looks even more potent and dangerous than previously thought.
