Why wouldn't everyone be on Texas today?

Any reason not to take the Rangers fighting for a playoff spot today as they have their ace (to me anyways) on the mound vs a bad Oakland team? Most places you can get the Rangers for even money, which is sorta fishy to me. But at the same time, vegas sometimes just gives money away. What do you guys think?

Somthing very interesting,

Line for TT
Texas 4 over 105
Texas 4 under -125

Oakland 4 over -105
Oakland 4 under -115

So the book is expecting Oakland to score more then Texas. You make the call.

When I saw this line for Tex, I couldn't believe it. I was gonna put all my money on Feldman and the Rangers, but then Feldman got clobbered by Oak a few days ago. But you have to take into account the fact that Feldman's ERA on the road is way, way more superior than at home, go figure that one out. Anyway the line is too fishy and Vegas don't give money away, so I stayed out of this one. The Rangers should win but ...
