People are instinctively going to want to back the Rangers' new prize possession, Cole Hamels. And in fact, the Rangers are -130 to a clearly better team with a bullpen that sports a 6.83 ERA over the last week. But, has the market taken into consideration:
Hamels threw 129 pitches in that no hitter against the Cubs
It's going to be almost 100 degrees at the start of the game
The Giants have 150 at-bats against Hamels and have hurt him badly
The Giants bullpen has really come around - 0.50 ERA over the last week
The Rangers do not have a bullpen - 6.83 ERA over the last week
979 SFG (+120) Greek vs 980 TEX
I have a Triple Dime going today and damned near made this one a 3* too. We got our GOM on Toronto last night. Out.
