Kazmir was brutal in his last outing, giving up seven runs and 10 hits in 3 1-3 innings before Tampa Bay rallied to beat Cleveland 8-7 on Friday night.

The lefthander is 2-3 with an 8.79 ERA in six starts since winning his first two. A matchup with Oakland may help get Kazmir back on track. He's 3-0 with a 1.67 ERA in four starts against the A's at Tampa Bay, and 7-2 with a 2.48 ERA in 12 career starts against them.

Oakland will turn to rookie lefthander Brett Anderson, who has struggled all season. This will be his first appearance against Tampa Bay, which went 0 for 11 with runners in scoring position Tuesday. Be sure to bet on MLB baseball in the Bodog Sportsbook.
