Baseball:
3 Units on Texas Rangers +120 (Dickey - R, Saarloos - R)
Texas at Oakland (3) 23rd, 24th, 25th It’s time to start taking the Rangers seriously (52-37, +$2215) though we’ve seen how Oakland traditionally gets hot in August and makes their move. We can’t use Kenny Rogers under any circumstances (A’s 11-2, +$750 at home vs. lefties), but Zito and Mulder are likely to miss this series, which means the Rangers will see two righthanders over the weekend. Considering their success in that situation (38-23, +$2060, with 5.8 runs per game), they’ll be hard to pass up, especially if, as we suspect, they are posted as underdogs. BEST BET: Rangers when righty meets righty.
