<h2>Today’s Baseball Pick</h2>
<b>Texas PK +110</b> vs. Oakland<br>
Action on game.<br><br>
<b>Keys to selection</b>: The Texas Rangers send Vicente Padilla to the mound this evening on the West Coast to face Gallagher and the A’s. The Rangers are 14-5 SU when Padilla gets the nod this year and will look to him for guidance to stop this two game losing streak.
<p>
Using my Law of Average calculator, when the Texas Rangers are 1-2 SU in their last 3 games, they are 13-3 SU in the following game. Plus, they might be catching an A’s team in a letdown spot here, as Oakland is coming off a 6-game road stand and teams face such a hectic schedule on their first game back at home. Plus, when OAKLAND is a -120 to -140 home Favorite vs. Right handed pitchers this season, they are 5-14 SU in this role.
<p>
Play the Rangers at PK +110 this evening.
