1 Unit on Rangers/Giants UNDER 8
I'll take the under here with Feldman and the Big Unit on the hill for their respective clubs. Feldman is 10-0 UNDER in all games this season and the Ranger bats have not been living up to the expectations they set with their early season offensive explosions. In fact, Texas is 9-0 UNDER after batting .240 or worse over a 10 game span this season. Randy Johnson is pitching very well of late, with a sub 3.00 ERA over his last 3 starts and the UNDER is 4-0 in Johnson's last 4 starts with 5 days of rest. Plus the UNDER is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between these teams in San Francisco.
Bet the UNDER.

Friday's Comp Selection
Take Under 10 between the Milwaukee Brewers @ Detroit Tigers (Friday @ 7pm est). We were on the Tigers with plus money yesterday and they are in a good spot here as well today. For starters, Galaragga comes off a rough outing where he lasted just 2 innings and gave up 8 hits and 4 runs. The Pirates were able to easily handle his pitches and won 3-9 consequently. I expect him to have a much better start today at home on the bounce-back. Prior to his last start, Galaragga had 3 straight quality starts. The Brewers come 3 huge wins on the road at Cleveland, but I expect them to have a bit of a let down offensively today in Detroit coming off the series sweep on the road. Looper is 0-0 over his last 3 starts picking up 3 straight no-decisions. I look for him to have a bit of a bounce-back from giving up 4 runs in 6 innings to the Whitesox at home. The Under is 5-1 in Looper's last 6 starts as an Underdog and the Under is 10-2 for the Tigers in their last 12 home games.
