MLB - 963 Texas Rangers @ 964 New York Yankees
(Starting Pitchers: D. Holland vs I. Nova)
This is the final game of a 4-games series, where the Yankees won the first three games. Maybe because of that and certainly because of the fact that there was a rain delay that made last night's game end at midnight, the Yankees will be resting some of their key batters (Cano, Granderson, Chavez, Ibanez) and so, they will present the following lineup today:
1. Derek Jeter SS
2. Nick Swisher RF
3. Mark Teixeira 1B
4. Andruw Jones LF
5. Casey McGehee 3B
6. Russell Martin DH
7. Jayson Nix 2B
8. Ichiro Suzuki CF
9. Chris Stewart C
Texas will be starting Holland, who is coming from a game where he allowed just one run in 7.2 IP against the Tigers, in a game where he went head to head against Verlander and the Rangers won the game by 2-1. On the other hand, the Yankees will be starting Nova who had a bounce back game against Toronto last week with 10K while allowing just two runs in 7.1 IP against Toronto. However, this was mostly due to a terrible lineup from Toronto, who is currently very banged up, where 5 of their starters had a BA under .250, with two of the remaining four having a BA of .251 and .258! So, I believe Nova didn't improve his poor form, but had a lucky break by facing a terrible lineup.
This time, with Texas fired up to avoid the sweep on the series and with the Yankees resting some of their batters, I believe Holland and the Rangers should be able to finally win a game on this series and so, I'll take Texas today.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 963 Texas Rangers ML (w/ D. Holland) @ -104 / 1.96 on 5Dimes
