MLB Premium Play 08/21: Baltimore Orioles @ Texas Rangers


MLB - 923 Baltimore Orioles @ 924 Texas Rangers

(Starting Pitchers: C. Tillman vs S. Feldman)

The Orioles will start Tillman tonight and he was winless on his last two starts, including a no-decision against Boston last Thursday, where he allowed three runs in 4.2 IP. He looked in good form previous to these two games, as he had won his previous four hittings, however with just 4 days rest and 110 pitches thrown against the Red Sox, I believe he will be in trouble tonight, especially when he is allowing .279 BA, .832 OPS and 5.14 ERA this season on games where he had just 4 days rest.

On the other hand, Texas will start Feldman, who is coming from two losses in a row against Detroit and the Yankees. He had 5 days rest for this game, but he is coming from a season high of 117 pitches and after a stretch where he looked amazing, he was just average on his last three starts. Also the Orioles' roster is .309 BA and .801 OPS against him, so I believe Feldman will once again struggle on this contest.

With both SP being on a bad spot and with both teams having good batters to expose these problems for both pitchers tonight, I believe this game will turn into a slugfest and therefore, I'll be taking the Over in here.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 923/924 Over 9.5 (w/ C. Tillman & S. Feldman) @ -110 / 1.91 on Betonline
