[Stifler's Mom]

ytd 281-271 (+51.07 units)

SF Giants RL +1.5 +115
Texas Rangers +140

2 units each

These 2 lines are brutal IMO.

Oswalt has pitched like **** lately, and Texas has gotten it going here lately against some of these ****ty NL teams. Back of the pen advantage to Texas as well, and the only concern I have is the effectiveness of Wright, although with a seemingly once again slowed down Astros offense, he should be able to at least have a decent start, while Texas is averaging nearly 8 runs per game this past week. If Texas can get this to the bullpens even being tied, I think they have a better shot to win the game, with theirs being relatively solid, especially the back end, while Houston's is just ****ty.

SF sucks, but Morris has been real solid at home, and well, solid overall until getting lit up at Fenway last time out. If he can turn in a good start, I like the Giants chances to keep this game close and possibly win. Took the +1.5 because at +115, I think that in this situation, where I expect a good start from Morris and close game that could go either way, it provides better value than the ML, plus it gives a little more room for error with the SF bullpen, which isn't so hot.

I always enjoy reading your thoughts on games and reasons for a +1.5, Ive learned alot over the years. Good Luck man.
