Rangers ML +125
Taking the Cardinals would be the easy way out. All I have heard ALL day on here, radio, and ESPN is that it would be extremely hard for the Rangers to bounce back from a lose like last night. Betting against public perception is a gold mine. Not to mention the Rangers have been here before as a unit. They have the experience and will be playing balls out tonight. It makes sense and the fact that the Cardinals are putting their ace out there for game 7 (which was setup by the postponement, we're not dumb), makes the Cardinals the attractive play. It seems way too easy. It's games like these that Vegas makes their money. Starting pitchers that have faced the Rangers lineup for the 3rd plus time have over a 5.00 ERA. Factoring that in with Carpenter pitching on 3 days rest, should play a huge part in tonight's game. Also, it's certainly not helpful to be without Holliday in the lineup. To note, Harrison is well rested after being shelled last outing. All signs are pointing to St. Louis here being at home and I'm not falling for it. My assumption is that the Rangers will be hit late so I believe you are seeing max value at this moment. So take the Rangers at +125....
Final: Rangers 5 - Cardinals 3
