i had the New York Yankees yesterday but the Texas Rangers manage to tie and win in extra innings. oh well, on to the next game.
the Texas Rangers are hot right now. the Texas Rangers are on a three game winning streak thanks to their come back victory yesterday over the New York Yankees in extra innings. i thought the New York Yankees had gotten over their recent three game losing streak but looks like i was wrong about that. the New York Yankees still have the better record in their last ten games though with six wins and four losses. the Texas Rangers only have four wins in their last ten games. the Texas Rangers managed to help the Tampa Bay Rays who also won and are now only 1.5 games back of the New York Yankees in a tight American League East. if the Texas Rangers were trying to send a playoff message to the New York Yankees, they did it in style, with a homer in extra innings to seal the victory.
the New York Yankees sends struggling starter Burnett (10-13, 5.15 ERA) to the mound on Saturday. the New York Yankees pitcher has been dismal lately going 4-11 with a 6.58 ERA since the beginning of june. on a positive note for the New York Yankees, Burnett has had success against the Texas Rangers in his career. the New York Yankees right hander is 4-3 with a 3.61 ERA against the Texas Rangers. the New York Yankees pitcher also only gave up 3 runs in 14 innings against the Texas Rangers this season.
Hunter (12-3, 3.99 ERA) takes the mound for the Texas Rangers. the Texas Rangers pitcher was roughed up in his last start, a drubbing at the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays. the Texas Rangers Hunter gave up seven runs in a 7-2 loss. the Texas Rangers right hander loss his only start against the New York Yankees way back in 2008.
my thoughts on this game is that despite the Texas Rangers pitcher having the better and more impressive record, the New York Yankees should be the better team in this situation. the New York Yankees play to the level of their competition and the loss yesterday was just what was needed to jump start them back in to how they were playing before their record three game losing streak. i like burnett and the New York Yankees in this one without a doubt. yes i know the Texas Rangers have a three game winning streak and you should not bet against teams on winning streaks usually but for whatever reason i love the New York Yankees as the play on Saturday.
my play is the New York Yankees at -110 odds for one unit.
