Very tired, but wanted to get this one in.
Texas RL. One unit
Texas -1. 2units
Texas -1/2 first 5 innings. 2 units.
I am risking a lot of my winnings this week, but oh hell…. better than playing with money I have than money I will owe later. Texas is an elite AL team, playing better finally. Josh Hamilton and Beltre might be coming back to life. And those bench guys are good, like Snyder and Gentry. San Diego hits better away from Petco Park. How else to explain Feldman's best start of the year. Also, it could be that the Pads are going to regress to their norm, which can be quite awful. Also, SD is a poor NL team. Don't be fooled by their sweep in Seattle- the Mariners are hopeless at home.
If you have been following inter league play, the AL is dominating again overall. Except for Dickey. He dominates all. Bass is a right-hander which Texas thrives on. He has pitched very poorly lately: Last 26 IPs, 28 runs and a crappy walk: strikeout ratio. Earlier in the year, that was not the case. I think that is a sign for pitchers that they are losing command, or confidence, or hitters have them figured out, or maybe their luck has run out - or maybe all of those. Darvish had one outstanding outing last time(with only 2 BBs), while prior to that had lost his control. But Darvish has such a repertoire, and change of speeds, that even if his command is off a bit, Texas can win this game. Though SD has gotten their hits in the past 2 games, they aren't hitting HRs (of course, who does at Petco?) And they haven't seen a pitcher this good in the past 2 days.
