double-dime bet 967 TEX (+130) Bodog vs 968 NYY
Analysis:
Play on Texas at 7:05 ET. This is excellent value on the visiting Rangers, who start the unbeaten Alexi Ogando, who we've gone with numerous times this season. In 12 starts thus far, Ogando is 7-0 with a 2.10 ERA and he has demonstrated a real consistency by allowing 2 ER or less in 10 of those outings. Tonight, he faces a Yankees team that has lost a boatload of loot in night games this season. We took the Yanks on Sunday, noting their strong record in day games and they beat Cleveland 9-1. However, we weren't surprised at all to see them lose last night at home to the Indians, 1-0, as they are now 19-25 in night games this season and -$1485 because they are typically big favorites in these games. Tonight, they start CC Sabathia, but he could be in for some trouble against a Texas lineup averaging 5.2 rpg vs. lefties TY (13-9). Also, Sabathia has not pitched as well at home compared to the road with a 4.08 ERA at Yankee Stadium. Texas had Monday off, which is a nice scheduling advantage + they are 10-2 this season when off BB losses. They are also a good value at +100 to +150 on the road w/ a 34-23 record in that price range the last two seasons. Texas is our AL Dog of the Month.
