I'll be on Rangers +1.

It's a tough game. I would imagine dicky will be fine however he will be monitored and they have said they are not afraid to use price and stroman as relievers. Personally if there is a game 5 I think it's stroman going to start. Which makes today's game very difficult to call. If Dicky is on then good for them but if he is off today then you still might see some surprising pitching changes if its a tight game. Tough game to call. Depends on the offence,they looked patient last night much more different than the first 2 games and also how does Holland come out? Tough tough game to call.

Rangers have not hit well this year when it comes to slow, crafty pitchers like Jered Weaver. And the heart of their lineup is batting like crap right now with Beltre out.

Holland started out well after his injury but has been getting lit up. As a Rangers fan, I'm worried

HUH??? Are you comparing him to RA??? Dickey is a knuckler.

I don't know what he's referring to but RA stats speak for itself since the trade deadline. Compare the stats from the first half of the season to the second half of the season and all I can say is "what a turn around" I think I made up my mind. I got to take the Jays especially with the possibility of price in the pen for the rest of the series. RA is not as bad as a starting pitcher as some think he is. Your going to find out early if the knuckle ball is dancing or not. And that's why I think they have price in the pen. He could back up Dicky tonight and if not he could back up stoman if there is a game 5

That's just an opinion I could be wrong but it just makes more sense to me.

i hate to say it, but rangers looked lost out there. why was perez in there for so long, there was no urgency in them last night. alberto was teh only gy doing anything last night, the fielding was horrible, all those deep doubles were catchable.. jays might win this game...

Nope. I'm comparing RA Dickey to pitchers like Weaver and Marco Estrada from Toronto. Rangers have hit fastball pitchers better this year, and they struggle against guys who throw slower crap like Weaver and Estrada. No, they don't throw knuckleballs, but how many guys do??

OK, got it.

The Rangers scored 1 run and had 2 hits in 6 innings last week, and Weaver hardly ever got higher than 80 mph

Lets look at the first game,

I like Houston Over 3.5 TT

The Stros scored 3 ER on Yordano Ventura in 2 innings in Game 1. They get to him again today.
