Featured Tip from ATS King
Pick Details
Sport / league:: MLB
Event / fixture:: Oakland at Texas
Event date: Tue, 18 Jun 2013 at 9:35 AM
Market:: Total Score
Tip:: Under 9.5 @ 2.00 (Pinnacle)
Tip Result:: Loss
The 38-30 Texas Rangers are struggling with the bat at the moment, scoring 2, 1, 0, 1, and 2 runs in their last 5 games. The 41-29 Oakland Athletics put 10 on the board in their final game against Seattle but were kept to a combined 2 runs in the two games before that.
For the Rangers all of their last 5 games have gone under 9.5 while the Athletics have gone under 9.5 in 4 of their last 5. In games between Oakland and Texas the total has gone under 9.5 in 6 of their last 9 meetings. A total of 5 runs have been scored in their last 2 meetings.
For both starting pitchers the total went under 9.5 in their last 3 starts. Rangers starter Daniel Straily went under 9.5 total runs in all 3 of his previous starts against the Athletics, with a 1-0 scoreline in his last outing against them in May of this year.
I give the total a 2/3 chance of going under 9.5 tomorrow which is why I like the 2.00 odds.
