Texas Rangers vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
You can talk yourself into the Rangers and the plus money, as Leiter looks like a young pitcher who is starting to come into his own. Sheehan has been shaky through 9 innings, allowing 12 hits and posting an 8.00 ERA. However, the Dodgers keep finding ways to win and until they cool off a bit, it’s hard to step in front of them. As I’ve said before, there will be chances to fade the Dodgers and these inflated prices, but now isn’t the time. The Dodgers are too hot to step in front of. Give me the Dodgers and the RL for max betting value.
