Or if you can get a better line, grab it.

LOVE THIS PLAY!

Rangers are shutting down. Millwood has been good this year but kinda living on the edge recently. His walks have been climbing every game. The innings have been piling up on his 34 year old arm and as the Rangers have fallen out of the playoff race the velocity of his fastball and slider have been coming down. The Mariners torched him in his last outing.

Edgar Gonzalez lands in Oakland after having difficulty staying in the majors with Arizona over 6 season. He is a different pitcher now as he's developed a very solid curveball that he's been throwing much more often than he did with the D'Backs (19% with A's, 6% with D'Backs). His Fielder Independent ERA of 3.83 is a career best. Gonzalez won't go deep in the game, he's good for 80 pitches with a solid 5 IP.

Bullpen edge goes to Oakland who have a 1.90 ERA in their last 10.

Texas Rangers had to travel today, while Oakland did not. Oakland 10-2 on Mondays. Texas 3-7 on Mondays.

Adding...

Pittsburgh +103 for 3 units

LeBlanc has a weak fastball and is due to come back to earth after making his ML return surprising a couple divisional teams with his new cutter. He has a horrible road split, (including in the minor leagues, I went back and checked).

He's pitching above his head with a fortunant BABIP (.198) and very high FIP of nearly 6. K/BB rate of 1.00 is absolutely hideous. He's just due to get his brains beat in.

Pirates have some guys coming back from illness/injury in LaRoche and Jones. Andrew McCutchen is great vs lefties. Milledge has been hot lately. San Diego have to jump a flight to Colorado after this game.
