This is an interesting line here. I've read some saying that the Texas line is a trap, which it most definitely could be (one that I've fallen into). The way I see this game is as follows:
1) David Price has been very good in his last two starts striking out 25 batters (ridiculous). Most would see this as David Price has been awesome and no way he can lose in this spot (puts line at -150ish)
2) Derek Holland has a very high ERA...misleading if you ask me. Holland has pitched more effectively of late. With Holland, you're going to get a great pitcher or a guy who couldn't last 3 innings. Holland has four CGs with all 4 being shutouts and he is 3-1 lifetime against the Rays(though a 7+ ERA). He gets the highest run support of any pitcher (7+ per 9innings). However, I'd say majority of public would see Holland as a weak link. (puts the line in at -150ish)
3) Rangers hit Price well; took him out in last years postseason in a day game. Price doesn't have a great home record this year as he doesn't get much support run-wise at the Trop. (Line at -125ish)
All in all, the line was rather right on to me and has come down a bunch. Like I started, I could be completely wrong on my point and the line could easily be a trap that I myself have fallen into.
But, it is what it is and I'll gladly have my money on Holland and the Rangers at +money. Go Rangers.
BOL to all

The Rangers have hit the ball hard, but right at people. Plus two balls they that should be doubles and they get singles. We need Holland to settle in and keep it at 3 - 1. Rangers bats seem like they can come alive today. Its a 9 inning game folks, lets hang in there.

although the rangers are down they are definitely not out. hitting the ball hard as posted above, just a matter of making an inning out of price. the rays announcers are annoying as sh!t

3-1 is definitely not enough against a team like the Rangers.
LETS GO RAYS!

The Rangers have been so late on Price's fastball today. He's leaving some over the plate, and they just keep fouling back to the backstop. If they can time it, they would be raking hits left and right. Price is hittable today.

Hang in there Rangers bettors. I don't see the Rangers ending this game with 2 runs. They are taking great cuts and we'll see Kinsler and the rest of the lineup at least twice before this game is finished. Rangers are swinging too well in this game to end it at 2 runs.
Does this translate to a win, we shall see. I'm liking our bet at the moment.

Throw in fact that its top of the 6th and Price is at 100+ pitches now. No way he finishes this game with a CG. he'd need like 150.

I'm starting to think ebbearsfb1 might be correct. Rangers look cooked. Not giving up hope, still 2 innings left, but it's going to be tough. Let's go Rangers

If they lose by 1 ******* run.. I'm gonna throw up.. I was gonna take them on the plus 1.5 but then was like.. ill take a chance on the ml.. sure enough they leave 80 men on base.. and lose by 1.... no big bets ever go my way
