Furious MLB Betting Picks – Rangers To Clinch Series Against Mariners

The Texas Rangers have always been a team with a curious offense. They have big bats that can produce against fledgling teams, but rarely do they come up big late in the season. With 19 runs scored in the last two games against Seattle, the Rangers’ offense has come alive once more. Whether they can keep that going to clinch the series will be paramount for proving their value as an MLB free pick down the road.

Ryan Rowland-Smith takes to the stripe for the Seattle Mariners, hoping to cool off the red-hot bats of the Rangers and if his past games have been a telling sign, things do not look good. Rowland-Smith is just 0-4 SU with a 6.65 ERA in 12 starts this season, and has given up 58 hits and 34 earned runs in 46.0 innings.

The Mariners, meanwhile, are just 3-9 SU when Rowland-Smith gets the start on the mound. Supporting defense, and challenging offenses, has been a big let down in Seattle. They’re 13th in scoring with 3.6 runs per game, and just 7th in team defense and 13th in road ERA allowed with 3.2 runs given up by the pitchers.

MLB Betting Lines:

SEA – Ryan Rowland-Smith (L) +1.5  -110 +175 O  10.0  -115
TEX – Tommy Hunter (L) -1.5  -110 -210 U  10.0  -105

Tommy Hunter will get the start for the Rangers, who hold a half-game lead over the pesky Angels. The kid from Indianapolis was a stud when facing the Tampa Rays, throwing 9.0 innings and giving up just 5 hits and 1 earned run against the best team in the American League. He gets his second start tonight, already looking to bolster his 1-0 SU record.

Where To Watch: FSNW, FSH

If Hunter can play that well against the Rays, imagine what he can do against one of the worst teams in the league. The Rangers are adding another stallion to their pitching stable in Hunter, and with the bats producing at the plate, this is a synch for Rangers’ bettors.
