Tuesday's Play--SRV Returns For Good Luck !!

[Keith]

I figured that it was enough dicking around with the Field of Dreams and Bull Durham themes. This year has been lousy, no doubt about it. Hopefully by going back to SRV, I can get cooking again. So here goes.

For Tuesday I like the Texas Rangers -150 to the Seattle Mariners. Here's why:

Texas, who is 7-3 in May, starts righty Scott Feldman. The Mariners bat only .247 against righties, averaging a miserable 3.4 runs per game against them. On the year Feldman is 2-0 with a 5.79 ERA, a 1.29 WHIP and a .244 batting average against. Here's the thing though--his numbers as a reliever from the beginning of the year are horrible (12.15 ERA and a .355 batting average against), but as a starter he has shined (3.24 ERA and a .186 batting average against). In his last 3 starts, he has allowed only 11 hits and 4 walks in 16.2 innings, for an ERA of 3.38 and a WHIP of only 0.925. Over the past 3 years his record against Seattle is 0-0, but in 20 innings against them, he has allowed only 17 hits and 2 walks, with a 2.70 ERA and a .227 batting average against.

Meanwhile, the Mariners, who are 3-7 in May, start lefty Jason Vargas. Texas is batting a monster .304 against lefties, averaging 6.5 runs per game. Vargas is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA, but that's because he has pitched only 3.2 innings on the year--all out of the pen. This guy is NOT a good pitcher. For his entire career, he is 7-8 with a 5.65 ERA. For the past 3 years he is 1-3 with an 8.27 ERA and a .305 batting average against. At night over the past 3 years his ERA is 9.18 and his batting average against is .340. On the road over the past 3 years, his ERA is a whopping 9.87 and his batting average against is .331. The Rangers hit lefties. They are going to crush this shitty lefty.

Tuesday's "Pride and Joy" play of the day is the Texas Rangers -150.
