2-0, and like these two today:
Texas TT over 1.5 (-136) F5 I know it's in Seattle where balls die in left field, but tonight there is no wind off the Puget Sound. Seattle starts Emerson Hancock, who in my opinion, is barely 5th starter material. He has been even inconsistent at AAA. He pitches to contact usually, but in his recent starts, he has been walking more batters. He also doesn't have an "out" pitch when he does get 2 strikes in the count. The Rangers are missing Seager, but even without him, they have hit pretty well the last few weeks. This is my larger play.
Minnesota TT over 2.5 (-125) F5 The Twins, if I'm not mistaken, are a better hitting team when not facing a veteran pitcher who has multiple pitches in their arsenal. But they can hit pretty well vs. a younger pitcher like the one they are facing tonight. Julian Aguiar seems like a guy that is a good prospect, but is only up in the majors because of so many Reds pitchers being on the IL. His pitch count usually gets him in trouble, and in 21 IPs, has 8 walks to 11 Ks. The Twins will see about 60% fastballs and this is the pitch most hittable for Aguiar. He also has given up 5HRs in those 21 IPs, and is a fly ball pitcher that can't afford to put men on base by walking them.
