Rangers and under for Friday

[Machine Choice]

The Astros have struck out out 36 times so far this year, and Gattis alone has struck out 8 times in a row. Altuve is 1 for 11 in his last 12 at bats. The team has totaled 3 runs. Yesterday they made an average pitcher look like Randy Johnson. Now they head across state to play the Rangers and face Derek Holland. He missed most of last year recovering from knee surgery, but when he returned in September, he was lights out: 1.46 ERA in 37 innings of work, with 25Ks and no HRs allowed. He held the Astros to 2 ER over 7 innings on Sep 22.

Astros starter Colin McHugh pitched phenomenal last year and also had a great Spring.... but, he did post a 4.35 ERA in 7 daytime starts. So that may affect him today, since the game starts at 3:05 pm CST. Regardless, I don't see him giving up much today. Yet, the Rangers played well in April last year (15-12) and the Astros are 6-20 in the last 26 games in Arlington. With a high of only 62 degrees today, I will make two plays:

TEXAS ML (EV)
TEX/HOU UNDER 8.5 (-120)

this looks solid play

I looked at the card last night and the total that stuck out was thus one...
Locked it in (U 8.5) @-120 last night.

I'm not gonna mess with the side...after all it is the Rangers and McHugh was their best roadie last season.

[RollinDo]

The other Under I like is Pitt-Mil (U 7.5)

And Over maybe in Colorado.

[CTOWNsCAPPIN]

I love Houston today BOL

[PorkChop]

McHugh is gonna have excellent value this year. Like the under, not so much Rangers ml

BOL

I'm not fading McHugh. It's more about the fact that Holland is no slouch himself and the Astros have so far shown an inability to swing at, and make contact with, ...a baseball.

[RollinDo]

I'm just hoping that when 2 solid pitchers start the Over doesn't hit like it has in similar situations to start this season and the end of last.
Some Unders pitting gascans and weak pens had me scratching my head last season.

Holland left the game after the first inning with a shoulder injury. WHY START HIM IF HE'S INJURED??? FVKKING RANGERS, YOU PIECE OF SHIT ORGANIZATION

I think he became injured as he threw the homerun pitch. I don't think they sent him out injured.

Bullshit. How does his shoulder go out on one pitch?

[Machine Choice]

He only pitched 8 innings this Spring. Now we know why.....motherfvcker wasn't ready, knew it, tried it, and FAILED

[A4K]

Bullshit. How does his shoulder go out on one pitch?

He has back spasms, not a shoulder injury.

[Machine Choice]

Boxscore says shoulder

[Machine Choice]

He looks, talks, and acts like a complete GOOBER. No wonder....idiot bitch

[A4K]

Boxscore says shoulder

I'm watching the game, announcers said the Rangers reported back spasms.

[Machine Choice]

This shit is a fix. He starts just long enough to get Rangers backers on the hook for the start, then leaves.......crooked SOB

I'm a Rangers backer today. They can pull this out. It's only 1-0, lol

Yes, but I'm also on the UNDER. My gameplan had Holland completely locking down the Astros. Now they are going to trot out a bunch of B-rate middle relievers. Even Astros can hit that shit.

The Rangers look uninterested in this game and have only hit one ball hard against Mchugh. The 'stros don't look that sharp either at the plate.

First home game for the Rangers, you'd think they'd be fired up

That's what I was banking on. They look lethargic and bored.

f\*\*k this game....on to tomorrow

Looks like you'll break even on the 2 bets.

[A4K]

FSSW might have the shitiest broadcast of a MLB game that I have ever watched. Their balls, strikes, and outs counter is always penetrating wrong and they let some sideline b!tch babble on for a half inning.

[posey]

According to mlb.com:

Holland felt the shoulder issue on the last pitch of his warmup tosses before the first inning. The lefty had some shoulder soreness in Spring Training, but this is in a different area. Holland is undergoing further medical evaluation, and the Rangers won't know the extent of the injury until that is completed.

Rangers = idiots. At least this fart pitches one inning so that the damn bets go through lol.
