It's not just Santana though, I don't think we match up well against their team. Their homefield is also probably the loudest in the league, but I'm pretty sure that won't make much of a difference. Besides Oakland fears us, they know that they cannot beat us and will probably not be very confident in themselves heading into the series. They've also hit a tough skid as of late and they will not have as much of a chance to rest there players and line up there rotation as we will. They may have to put their best pitcher in for the last game of the season rather than for the first game of the playoffs.
