AMEDEUS' MLB GOLD STRIKE!
(MLB) Texas vs. San Diego,
Total: 9.00 | -118.00 Over
Result: Loss
The Rangers are coming into this game playing in some very high scoring games recently as their offense has been very good but their pitching not so much. They have had 9 or more total runs in 5 of their last 7 games as their offense has scored 34 runs in their last 5 games, but their pitching has also allowed 30 runs in those 5 games. They are going up against a Padres team that has not been playing in a lot of high scoring games recently but their offense has been heating up as they have scored at least 5 runs in 2 of their last 3 games, scoring 7 runs in their last one. Yu Darvish is starting for the Padres here and he is 7-7 with a 4.80 ERA this season. He has not been pitching well this season as he has been allowing a lot of runs in his starts. He has allowed at least 3 earned runs in 5 of his last 7 starts and just allowed 7 earned runs in his last start which was also at home. He has not pitched well at home either as he has allowed at least 3 earned runs in each of his last 3 home starts, allowing at least 6 earned runs in 2 of those starts. The Rangers are going to be hungry to bounce back after that bad loss scoring just 1 run and they have one of the best offenses in the MLB as they have had all season, they will find ways to score runs in this game with their hot offense. Martín Pérez is starting for the Rangers here and he is 8-3 with a 4.91 ERA this season. He has not been very good in his starts this year either and has been allowing a lot of runs recently as well. He has allowed at least 2 earned runs in his last 7 straight starts and has also allowed at least 4 earned runs in 2 of his last 3. He has not been great on the road either as he has allowed at least 6 earned runs in 2 of his last 3 road starts as well as allowing at least 4 earned runs in 4 of his last 6. The Padres offense has finally been heating up recently and they will find ways to score runs in this game with the way Perez has been pitching recently and their offense will be able to keep up with the Rangers in this game. Between these two teams, there will be enough runs in this game to push it over the total.
