FREE Pick: OVER in Texas – The only reason this play did not make my “pay play” list today is because of a concern about weather. There are expecting quite a bit of rain in the Arlington area but I am hopeful they can get this game in and we should cash an easy over if they do! Kenny Rogers simply tries to do too much against his former team and this has “gotten in his head” and he’s “paid for it” in some of his recent starts against the Rangers. Look for him to get pummeled tonight by a Rangers team that has a strong tendency to knock the cover off of the ball at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. As for the Texas pitching situation, they send Scott Feldman to the mound. After a surprisingly successful start to the season, he has now slipped considerably with a number of subpar recent outings! We look for more of the same tonight and the bad news for Rangers fans is that they also possess one of the worst bullpens in baseball. Last night Dustin Nippert was an early exit but he was spelled by the just called up Kameron Loe. Surprisingly, the Rangers got an excellent outing from Loe but now he won’t be available tonight after throwing five innings last night. That means its back to the usual group of struggling Rangers hurlers that will be coming out of the pen for Texas tonight. The Tigers have displayed bullpen struggles of their own recently as they allowed thirty runs in their three game set against the Orioles! That’s ten runs per game and that’s a bad sign of things to come tonight if Rogers gets hammered like we expect him to! This one clearly has OVER written all “over” it! Good luck – Nick “BookieKiller” Parsons
