MLB - 967 Texas Rangers @ 968 Oakland Athletics
(Starting Pitchers: A. Ogando vs T. Milone)
Tommy Milone will start for Oakland tonight and he is coming from one run allowed in seven innings against the Angels last Saturday. This was a "good start" for Milone, but he still had some problems on that outing by walking four batters. Milone hasn't been pitching well at all this season and he got crushed in mid-June at Texas, where he allowed six earned runs in 5.1 innings. The Rangers' offense is completely red hot right now with .383 BA on their last 10 games, so I can only expect Texas to pound Milone once again tonight.
The Rangers will start Alexi Ogando tonight, who allowed only one run in 4.2 innings on his last outing against Cleveland last Sunday. Ogando is still looking for his best form after coming from the DL, but he allowed just 1 and 3 earned runs on his first two comeback games in the MLB. Texas isn't forcing him at all (92 + 78 pitches thrown), while the Rangers' bullpen will be fully rested for tonight to compensate any issue with Ogando. Therefore, I see good value on the red hot Rangers as underdogs tonight and so, I'll be taking them in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 967 Texas Rangers ML (w/ A. Ogando) @ +123 / 2.23 on 5Dimes
