Furious MLB Betting Picks – Texas Rangers Open Series against Blue Jays

The Texas Rangers are stomping a mudhole in MLB betting picks lately, and proving that they can be an American League playoff contender even without Cliff Lee. Texas sits atop the AL West while Toronto has tumbled down to fourth in their division with very little hope to cling on to. That’s why Toronto may not even be on the radar of the Rangers since their chances of extending their season in to the playoffs is doubtful at best.

One bright spot for the Jays is first year starter Kyle Drabek, who gets the call to the lonely dirt hill tonight. Drabek has pitched himself to a 3.00 ERA with 19 strikeouts in 24.0 innings. The Jays are also 4-0 SU when Drabek gets the start. My problem with Drabek is that he gives up a ton of hits. He’s allowed 19 hits in 24.0 innings this season, and the Jays haven’t exactly been a scoring dynamo to back him up.

Toronto Blue Jays (9-12) vs. Texas Rangers (14-7)

Monday, April 25 — Rangers Ballpark — 8:05pm EST

MLB Betting Lines:

TOR – Kyle Drabek (R) +1.5 -145 / +130 / O 9.5 -115

TEX – Colby Lewis (R) -1.5 +125 / -150 / U 9.5 -105

The Jays are eighth in the American League, and face a strikeout kingpin in the form of Colby Lewis. Unfortunately, Lewis hasn’t been in true form this season pitching 17.0 innings over three games and allowing just as many hits along with 12 runs. The Rangers are just 1-2 SU in games where Lewis takes to the mound in MLB betting picks as well.

Where to Watch: RSN, FSH

The main difference here is that Texas is one of the best offensive teams in the American League, ranking second with 5.3 runs per game overall. At home, they’re the best scoring team in their league, averaging 6.3 runs at Rangers Ballpark. Combine that with the Jays brutal 2-7 SU record in 9 road games and Texas’s top-ranked home ERA allowed of 6.3 and you have a logical -150 moneyline take in MLB betting picks. If you’re feeling dangerous, take the runline for Texas.
