MLB Premium Play 08/13: Milwaukee Brewers @ Texas Rangers

MLB - 925 Milwaukee Brewers @ 926 Texas Rangers

(Starting Pitchers: M. Estrada vs A. Ogando)

Texas will start Alexi Ogando tonight, who is yet to convince since he returned from the DL. His P/IP ratio is horrible and so, he can't get to the sixth inning on his outings. His command is also awful, with 4/2, 1/5, 1/2 and 2/0 K/BB ratios on his last four outings. Tonight Ogando will have a horrible matchup for him, as the Brewers have a lineup full of RH batters and Ogando is allowing .295 BA, .381 wOBA, 5.13 FIP and 4.79 xFIP against RH hitters this season! Therefore, Milwaukee will put Ogando in a lot of trouble tonight.

Marco Estrada will start for the Brewers and he dominated the Giants on his first start after coming from the DL, with just one hit allowed in five innings against San Francisco. But the Giants are the #29 offense of the league over the last 7 days. Now against the red hot Rangers offense, things will be completely different. Texas has scored at least five runs in five of their last six games and I believe they will continue this trend tonight. Therefore, I believe both pitchers will struggle tonight, turning this game into a high scoring one. So, I'll be taking the Over in here.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 925/926 Over 9 (w/ M. Estrada & A. Ogando) @ +100 / 2.00 on 5Dimes
