thumbs up on the orioles pick for tonight... i am on the same side
Texas was toppled three straight to go from first to second in the AL
West. Wednesday's finale was especially disheartening with Josh
Hamilton dropping a routine flyball to punctuate a six-run Oakland
bottom of the fourth. An inning earlier the Rangers raced ahead 5-1
thanks to Adrian Beltre's, Michael Young's, David Murphy's and Geovany
Soto's RBI-hits.
Baltimore went away pretty quietly in the rubber match at the 90-72
Tampa Bay Rays losing 4-1. The Orioles smoked in their only run during
the ninth inning on Adam Jones' sacrifice fly getting in J.J. Hardy.
Adam Jones and Mark Wieters were the other two Baltimore batters besides
Hardy to get aboard via a base hit.
The Orioles go with newcomer 3-3 Joes Saunders and a 3.63 ERA to
stymie Texas who he did not face with the 81-81 Arizona Diamondbacks or
Baltimore this year. The Rangers have however seen him before and are
43-for-123 with 26 RBIs all-time, eight Ian Kinsler's, six Hamilton's
and five Beltre's, versus Saunders who is 1-2 against the AL West this
season.
The Orioles however did win Saunders' lone no-decision at the 75-87
Seattle Mariners 3-1. Saunders threw an eight-inning one-run gem. In
losing at the A's Saunders gave up three runs during six innings.
Saunders' first road start of the year with Baltimore came at the 73-89
Toronto Blue Jays on Sept. 3. Saunders went 6.1 innings of scoreless
baseball in a 4-0 win.
16-9 Yu Darvish with a 3.69 ERA gets the start next for Texas trying
to extend their playoff lives past Friday. Darvish in Arlington is 10-2
just losing in July to the 85-77 Chicago White Sox and Oakland allowing
nine runs during 13.1 innings.In Darvish's victories at Rangers Ballpark he conceded 22 runs during 60
innings. Darvish is 4-1 versus post-season teams this year. The Orioles
strangely have not seen Darvish yet. It would be easy to take Texas
which is why I'm thinking Baltimore is a good play to make.

Good thoughts. Texas should get this win. They're typically good after losses (good + roi yielding). I made this a smaller value play that's all. No harm done if we lose it.

And if Tex can get by tonight, that'll make the last 2 WS winners at the Big Dance with 2nd Runner-up Miss Texas.
Good for Major League Baseball, as an untouchable Brady NE is for the NFL, or as Gretzky relates to the NHL.
Really a shame to grow-up and leave High School = the last sporting events stage where it is not corrupted so egregiously. NCAA has no excuse albeit Gambling on its products; the rest are primarily "Entertainment" where a select few on select occassions pick up a few extra seasons at the ticket writers' terminal.

#903 Baltimore Orioles +184 ($68 to win $125.12) WINNER!
over the Texas Rangers
Is there something I'm missing? Why are the Orioles getting so much juice. I don't care, I'll take it.
Baltimore is 53-41 +25.07 units (+25.6% roi) this season against plus .500 teams. That's 28-22 +18.46 units (+36.9% roi) as road dogs (against +.500 teams)!
Not only that, but Baltimore is 14-3 +13.17 units (+67.8% roi) on 1+ day of rest. I trust Baltimore in the playoffs a whole lot more than I do Texas. I think the public is thinking: "the second time is a charm" and therein lies our value on this one.
Go O's!

Justin Verlander is 41-20 (+1.02 rpg, 67.2%) +$1019 as a home favorite against plus .500 opponents in his career. That’s 28-8 (+1.83 rpg, 77.8%) +$1469 since 2009.
My models like them too. No dogs today. Just that one small maybe. I like DET -1, but -132 odds. Yuck. History says it is value though....

Detroit looks like the best play for me today:
