Samba_SamPa Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Orioles (-1.5) 2pts @ 2.10 Bet365 Baltimore are almost at the point of no return with regards to winning the AL East, with the Yankees winning earlier, but need to keep their focus to ensure they don't lose their grip on a playoff spot. Facing a Blue Jays team who have Villanueva on the mound should help their cause tonight, given he has a 7.30 ERA in 2 starts, and 2 losses, against the O's this season. He's also coming in off his worst start of the season, giving up 8 hits and 7 runs for just 7 outs lto against Tampa. Mets (-1.5) 2pts @ 2.70 Bet365 Expect Hefner to rebound from a last start that describing as a nightmare would be understating just how horrific it was, as he gave up 7 runs before being yanked without recording a single out. The Mets have won 10 of 13 at CitiField v the Pirates, and are 4-1 from their last 5 at home after a nightmare 4-25 stretch. 2012 record: 80-104 (+44.195) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba_SamPa Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Re: MLB: September 26th 2012 Picks Athletics @ Rangers - Under 9.5 runs - 3pts @ 2.05 Bet365 Athletics @ Rangers - Game to go to extra innings - 1pt @ 9.25 Bet365 A lot of value imo in this total points line. The A's and the Rangers have met 14 times this season, and have combined for 10 or more runs on just 2 of those meetings. Add to that the A's are pitching Jarrod Parker, who only ceded 1 hit, a lead off single in the 8th, on his last meeting with Texas. Then consider that the Rangers send Martin Perez to the mound, with the rookie gaining his first career win v the A's in June when giving up just 2 runs in 5 1/3 innings. Everything points to this being a tense, tight, affair between 2 sides who need the win, and I could easy see this going to extra innings after a 2-2 / 3-3 type game.
