MLB Premium Play 05/22: Oakland Athletics @ Texas Rangers


MLB - 965 Oakland Athletics @ 966 Texas Rangers

(Starting Pitchers: J. Parker vs R. Wolf)

The A's will be starting Jarrod Parker today and he is coming from two solid outings in a row, after a poor start of the season. He had a no-decision against Kansas City, even though he allowed just one run and four hits in seven innings. His season 35/24 K/BB ratio is unimpressive, but after three quality outings on his last four starts, perhaps he is starting to find some good form finally. His best pitch is the change up and Texas has been struggling in hitting against this kind of pitch! In fact, Parker went 3-0 against Texas last season perhaps because of that.

Texas has recalled Ross Wolf from Triple-A for this contest. He has a 7.92 ERA in 25 innings at the major league and he has been quite unimpressive. He struggled in Double-A last year and he got released by Oakland because of that. He looked quite decent at Triple-A this season, but with his past results in the major league, I don't expect the 30-years old pitcher to dominate the Athletics today at all. Therefore, I see nice value on Oakland today and so, I'll be taking them in here.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 965 Oakland Athletics ML (w/ J. Parker) @ +113 / 2.13 on Betonline
