#MLB Free Pick from Mike Lundin
(MLB) Oakland vs. Texas, 07/25/2016 4:05 PM, Score: 6 - 7
Money Line: -142.00 Texas (Home)
Result: Win
Play: Texas Rangers
Rating: 8*

Sunday's free pick on the Halos was nothing short of an embarrassment as they ended up a 13-3 loser at Houston. I really like Monday's free play though which features Oakland Athletics vs. Texas Rangers. The Rangers are coming off a 3-6 road trip out of the All-Star break, but they've been money home at Arlington all season long and this looks like a good spot to back the Rangers.

Martin Perez (7-7, 4.37) takes the ball for the home team. He's been knocked around pretty bad in four road starts this month, much like the whole Texas team he's been far better at home. Perez is 6-1 with a 2.48 ERA in nine turns at Globe Life Park compared to 1-6 with a 5.95 ERA in 11 starts away from home.

Daniel Mengden (1-5, 5.52 ERA) takes the ball for Oakland. The 23 year old rookie is 0-2 with a 9.33 ERA in four starts this month. He's dished out 14 free passes during that game and gave up five his last time out.

Rangers are 9-2 in Perez's last 11 home starts vs. a team with a losing record, Athletics are 16-35 in their last 51 road games vs. a left-handed starter.

Note that:
- As a former poker pro, Mike Lundin is not scared to pull the trigger and BET BIG when he knows he's got the stone cold nuts. It has paid off as he's on a SIZZLING 19-5 RUN W/ TOP RATED MLB SELECTIONS! If you have only one bet at the ballpark on Monday, make sure it's Mike's Top Rated MLB *GAME OF THE WEEK* from the American League.
