    Texas Rangers +112 is a SOLID play tonight over the A's

    Whenever there's two evenly matched pitchers, go with the hotter team which is the Rangers at the moment. Even though A's are at home, their bats are cold and Rangers offense is hot this month. Rangers won't take these games lightly against Oakland, they still owe them a beating for the playoffs last year.

    A's shouldnt be favored tonight , take the plus money gift and run with it.

    Weird line. Doesn't make much sense to me at all. Opener made even less sense. +115/-125?

    It's over valuing Griffin. He can pitch but he gets too erratic to be valued that much over Grimm and the Rangers.

    Books are banking on Griffin's performance in the playoffs last year and also the team's 10-2 win/loss record with Griffin on the mound. Griffin got a lot of run support in those games though so its a skewed record. A's offense is nowhere near the same as last year's hot start.....totally flat this year.

    I might play this then -- I like Grimm a lot.

    Cespedes is really struggling.

    Also don't forget Nats bats aren't exactly killing it on the road. Zimm may hold em down but it wont matter if they can't score at Dodgers stadium.

    Thnx M, is under a good play? Im not really a stats person and basically a newbie to this. Ballpark at the dodgers isnt much of an hr paradise i assume + adding ur info about cold bats of the Nats= under.

    Because it's in Oakland , NoCoin. They hardly ever drop a TT over 4 at the Coliseum because balls dont carry well there.

    I actually like the under play better than the Nats play if I was laying that game. Just FYI for future reference, balls dont carry well at any of the California stadiums at night (Oakland,San Diego,LA) especially Dodgers stadium. Now that doesnt mean to go crazy on the unders but just to give you some reference/heads up.

    Yep, Grimm is making his pitches. A's just finding lucky holes with weak grounders.

    Grimm stinks. My fantasy team is not happy.
