Texas +1.06 over TAMPA BAY

Back to Tampa Bay for the decider and that might not be a good thing for the home side. Cliff Lee won Game 1 with a 10/0 K/BB against the low-contact, walk-dependent Rays. No guarantee of a similar follow-up, but this mark imitates Lee’s outstanding control and suggests he’s in a good position to be successful once again, particularly given the Ray’s offensive track record at home where they average more than a full run per game less than on the road. Another reason to expect success from Lee: His track record in controlling the running game – only four SB allowed in only nine attempts for the season – gives him an edge in handling one of the Rays’ critical offensive tools. David Price struggled in Game One due partially to some bad luck – nine of the 21 balls in play he allowed went for hits, coming to a 43% hit rate. Price’s mistakes were crushed, as suggested by the two HR and two doubles he allowed. But to put into perspective how uncharacteristic his Game One performance was, consider again the fact that Price was 9-2 at home, with a 1.96 ERA for the season. He was dominant in 13 of 16 outings, with three runs the most he’d allowed in any home game all season. We all saw how C.J. Wilson and Cliff Lee dominated this Rays line-up by throwing strikes and keeping the ball down and Lee is a master at both. The Rays have momentum after taking two in Texas but that can change in an instant and it says here that the Rays once again, have very little chance of success against Lee. Play: Texas +1.06 (Risking 2 units).

I like this play sherwood, Lee is 5-0 with a 1.52 ERA in six postseason starts, (including two complete games) and he has a 2.87 ERA against the Rays. Good luck!

I can't take it. People think I like the Longhorns. The Rangers were my very 1st love as a human being when my Grandparents would take me to the old ballpark and watch Mickey Tettleton and Mickey Rivers, Jim Sundberg, etc. We've gotta have this win.

COME ON RANGERS!!!!
