I only like 1 game for Thursday after going over the card.

Record 1-0 (+1.1 units)


Pick = Texas -110


Reason = Texas comes off a 4-game embarassing sweep by the Orioles and will be motivated. The All-Star break gives them time to clear their heads. Elvis and Kinsler and others can steal off Wakefield once on base since he is the easiest guy to steal on. The Red Sox are also banged up and I don't think they can keep relying on younger inexperienced players especially against the Rangers. Hunter has been great and even though he hasn't pitched much on the road, he pitches in a launching pad at home so Boston won't intimidate him with its hitters park. Vladimir Guerrero has abused Wakefield in the past also which is no surprise since he is probably one of the best hitters out of the strike zone and can hit off-the-wall pitches at will. The line is low due to the Red Sox record at home and because they are the Red Sox at home (perception creating line value). I couldn't find much on the card so I'm letting it rip with the Rangers. TAKE TEXAS -110. Best of luck.

I think you're right. I liked CWS at first, but Slowey is a FB pitcher and in turn has pitched well at home in the bigger park. Chicago has some pretty big offensive splits when they get away from their hitter friendly park. Hopefully Hunter can keep getting lucky and Texas doesn't get the same Wakefield that pitched 8 scoreless innings IN Philadelphia. There's just not much out there tomorrow in my eyes, unless the line drops on SF big time.

Best of luck. Never easy trying to win in Fenway, but I couldn't find anything else. Hopefully, the Rangers get it done.
