4* Money Maker
(MLB) Oakland vs. Texas,
Money Line: -129.00 Texas (Home)
Result: Win
Taking the RANGERS here. I know that Texas has been slipping lately. But at this price, we have to play on the better team. Perez at home is a totally different pitcher. 6-1 2.48 ERA in 9 starts. He isn't a strike out guy, but he does whatever he does to be successful here at home. A's are clearly rebuilding. I think they sell off some pieces this week for sure. Daniel Mengden is a rookie who, although striking out a guy an inning, looks over-matched at times. He is having a brutal month of July with an ERA over 9 and BAA over .300 with a 2+ WHIP. That won't get it done here. 4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS
