This system usually focuses on the offensive power of the Rangers (did you know that thirteen of the Rangers 15 runs in the first three games of the Baltimore series came via the long ball?). But with Hamilton still hurt and not playing, we're going to need more of a team effort. So I was pleased when I read
this...
Some of the best news from the road trip was that the velocity apparently has returned for starter Vicente Padilla. Ron Washington said Padilla was throwing 94-95 mph in Friday’s start against Baltimore.
During my time away, I realized most of our losses came from laying 2.5 runs on an underdog. Well, tonight the Rangers are expected to win. At home against a divisional opponent, they will come out swinging hard. With the total expected to go over 10.5, I might normally take both teams -2.5. Not tonight. I'm taking the unit I would have put on the A's -2.5 and putting it all on the Rangers!
Wednesday (1 Play)
2 Units on Texas Rangers -2½ +220 (Greek)
PS, the Rangers are a 0.500 ball club as of today!
