6/4
Adding
Orioles +127
This game will be a hard game to cap, but isnt most of our games? The public is all over the Rangers, they just cleaned up on the Royals winning the series 3-1. The Orioles look dreadful, losing the series to the Giants and giving up 16 runs and only scoring 3 on Saturday and Sunday. Why isnt today's line higher? Don't you think the Orioles should be getting +140 or more? The Rangers at -136 looks pretty easy today, and their starting pitcher Smyly isnt bad, however he is coming off a game which he gave up 7 runs to Seattle. He did have 2 games before that only giving up 3 and 2 runs. Smyly has had some trouble going long, he has only gone 6 innings once in 9 games, and is averaging around 4.5 innings. Bundy has been consistent, but has not been getting the run support from his team. He is 2-6 this year yet only giving up 1-3 runs in his last 4 games. He just went 7 innings vs the Tigers, and has consistently gone 5-6 innings each game. He has (2) 7 inning games under his belt, so we trust Bundy to go longer than Smyly today. The Orioles have one of the worst bullpens ranking 29/30 with a 5.84 ERA, but the Rangers isnt far off, ranking 23 with a 4.84 ERA. If Bundy can go longer than Smyly, the Orioles have more time to expose that bullpen and the Rangers wont. This over under is set at 10.5, and after seeing the pitching match up and the spread, we believe the dogs will score some runs today. If we are expecting the Rangers to win today 8-2, 6-4, or 7-3, the spread should be -150 or higher for the Rangers, which isnt the case. One of the Rangers top batters, Gallo has been put on the 10 day DL which will help Bundy today. We are taking the Orioles, good luck.
