Premium Picks
Atlanta at Texas
The Texas Rangers are a borderline playoff team. What this team needs to do is try to get a couple of bats to add to the lineup. But, the Rangers' offense has scored just 415 runs on the season, which is the 4th worst mark of any AL team. This team, however, has allowed the fewest runs in MLB at 354. The combination of great pitching and poor hitting has made Texas a great UNDER choice. The Rangers are 15-3 to the UNDER at home when the line is -125 to -175. The Braves have not scored a lot when facing a starting pitcher who allows 0.5 HR per start or less. The Braves are 16-6 to the UNDER in that spot. Also, Atlanta is 53-42-1 to the UNDER on the season. I think Texas can get caught sleeping in this opener. Make the play the Braves and the UNDER.
