I already have one play still pending from last night with the Mariners finally getting to the Padres... I like that momentum to keep up today. Not bad odds getting the Mariners at +155 today.
I'm adding the Rangers to go for the in-state home sweep. Backe has only been getting 1.6 runs of support on the road as the Rangers have gone 0-5 in his 5 road starts. Rangers are also 0-3 in his day starts this year with the same poor run support. He's given up a HR in all but 1 of his starts so far this year. With a short porch, he should be in line for a couple today.
Gabbard on the other hand has won all 5 past home starts in Texas (2 so far this year). He's had success here because he's getting the ball on the ground. His Ks have taken a small dip, but with his injury struggles this year, I'm not looking into that too deeply just yet. He got two eventful starts against the M's since coming back, and should be getting better today. He burned me last time coming out early, I'm hoping that doesn't happen again today.
No doubt this Astros lineup is potent, but the Rangers have quietly been one of the hottest teams this past week. It's a shame Hamilton is "exhausted" and resting today, but I still like my chances enough to make this play. Astros have to be a publicly favored dog today after dropping the first two in the "Silver Boot" series. I like Michael Young to have a big day and pickup the slack for Hamilton. I also like the Rangers bullpen over the Astros pen right now. Villarreal's 10 HR's so far this year make every game attainable against the Stros in the 9th. Good Luck.
