MLB Premium Play 08/26: Minnesota Twins @ Texas Rangers


MLB - 977 Minnesota Twins @ 978 Texas Rangers

(Starting Pitchers: C. De Vries vs S. Feldman)

The Twins will be starting De Vries today and he is coming from an outing in Oakland, where he needed 112 pitches to get through 5.2 innings, while allowing two runs, six hits and three walks. De Vries just keeps struggling and against a red hot Texas offense right now, he'll be crushed today. 

On the other hand, the Rangers will start Feldman today, who is coming from an outing against Baltimore, where he allowed four runs and seven hits last Tuesday. He has been solid lately and he hasn't given up more than four earned runs since June 4. He allowed 4, 3 and 4 runs on his last three outings, but those games were against Baltimore, the Yankees and Detroit, so they were actually decent performances from him. Now against a much weaker Twins lineup, I believe Feldman will have a solid outing today.

With Texas having a clear SP edge and a huge hitting edge for this contest, I believe the result of this game will be the same that happened in the first two games of this series: two blowouts from Texas. Therefore, I'll be taking the Rangers on the runline today.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 978 Texas Rangers RL -1.5 (w/ S. Feldman) @ -120 / 1.83 on 5 Dimes
