Today's Pick: TEXAS RANGERS
MLB
Houston vs. Texas
2:05 EST
I know Roy Oswalt is light years ahead of Chan Ho Park in terms of pitching ability, but how do you ignore Houston’s 2-18 record on the road and coming off an 18-3 embarrassment? Texas hit eight home runs on Saturday and recently supported Park with a 16-run effort at Oakland. To make matters worse for the Astros, Lance Barksdale is the scheduled home plate umpire. The home team is 6-1 this year with Barksdale calling balls and strikes. Although I can’t give Park too much of the credit, the Rangers are 5-0 since April 23rd with him including victories against the Yankees and Red Sox. Here’s the bottom line: Houston has scored three runs or less in 11/14 games. Texas has scored five runs or more in eight consecutive Park starts. 2-18 on the road and coming off an 18-3 defeat. How pumped are the Astros for this daytime affair in Arlington? Take the Rangers -102
