Both teams showed a lot of life and both teams had poor as heck pitching in game 1 of this series – by game's end the Phillies made enough big plays to win the game. Okay, so now we move on to game 2...

I do not want to shy away from Texas tonight; I am hopeful that SP, Martin Perez can stabilize the pitching in this series and help the Rangers en route to a victory tonight. I am hopeful for a quality start from Perez, meaning 6 innings of 3 runs or less baseball. I am not betting that he will have one. I am betting that the Rangers will do enough, especially at the plate to earn a win.

A.J. Burnett is a tough pitcher to face, but having faced Lee the night before and with strong success, Texas’ offense has a 50/50 change of putting up more than 3 runs (in my estimation…my crystal ball is still in the shop getting upgraded to 1080p, high-definition).

Phillies relied on big innings and two-out hitting in the last nights game, not a bad thing to rely on

Continued two-out hitting by Philadelphia should be worrisome for any prospector on the side of Texas tonight, but every game has something that is worrisome - I can stomach the possibility of a repeat performance by them tonight.

I like the Texas Rangers to win tonight (and you have to climb the ladder a bit to the -140s), since I noticed more positives than negatives. Positives like completing a quick comeback down 6-0. Positives like a young SP that has a lot to prove tonight in Martin Perez –

Texas has already shown resiliency in the early going; now if they can just get some solid SP and a short lead late in this ballgame, I like their chances to squeak out a win.
