    Ride the Rangers again today +115 Garza

    This is the first time this A's bunch has felt some pressure and heard the footsteps coming in the background. Last year they were in 2nd place all year before taking the division on the last day. They played with house money all year last year with no expectations and felt no pressure. This year they once again got no respect and were in 2nd place for all of April/May before taking over in June, and did not lose any ground to Texas all of June and most of July. This is the first time in 2 years the Rangers have gained ground on the A's with the A's in first place. Rangers have cut lead from 6 games to 2.5 games in the past 4 days. Roles are reversed with A's feeling the pressure/heat now and Rangers with the confidence that they can get it done. Not sure if this young A's team knows how to deal with this pressure and heat the Rangers are applying to them. Which is why I like Texas with Garza in this spot.

    Love it. Garza also feeling like he has a lot to prove being in the final few months of his contract.

    This series shaped up perfectly for Texas. Hitting Oak-town on the heels of a 5 game winning streak, and not having to face Colon. If Rangers leave California tied or a .5 game back.....its going to be very interesting.

    I like this play too.

    Good odds for a team that has won their last 5, I just hope that the Rangers can hit Parker, which they seem to have problems with. But Garza is good against oakland too, and with the momentum being the rangers favor, this is an easy pick for today's games.

    Wow Garza is shitting the bed in the first... 0-3 Oakland after inning 1.

    Hopefully he settles and the rangers can rally!

    Streak is over, but leaning A's tomorrow because they reclaimed the momentum and Griffin is the type of pitcher that gives Rangers trouble

    Rangers offense is terrible right now. Actually surprised Pokemon backed them today, he usually has pretty solid plays.
