Texas Rangers (-125)
Wed Sep 24 ‘08 2:05p
Matt Harrison ( 8-3, 5.68 ERA) the Rangers starting hurler today , goes against a A’s offense that struggles mightily against lefites, as is evident by having recorded the worst OPS in the majors against unorthodox pitching with a (.638) average Harrison has owned the Atheltics this season registering a 2-0 mark along with a minuscule 0.65 ERA in 14 innings of work that includes a five-hitter in his last start .Considering the native of North Carolina s domination in this series, it will be an easy decision to back him in this spot.
Meanwhile,Dana Eveland (8-9,4.09 ERA)the As starting pitcher for this tilt in Arlington, just got back from the minors. He pitched well in his first start after his return, but has had a lot of problems with his control all season. The southpaw could easily wilt and regress, in the Texas heat this afternoon against a Rangers offense that has averaged 5.9 RPG at home this season.

Final notes & Key Trends: As have lost 7 of their L/10 as visitors in this series.

Play on the Texas Rangers
