#MLB Free Pick from Mike Lundin - 8-2 L10 Free Picks
(MLB) Texas vs. Colorado, 08/08/2016 4:40 PM, Score: 4 - 3
Money Line: -115.00 Texas (Away)
Result: Win
Play: Texas Rangers
Rating: 5*

The Texas Rangers and the Colorado Rockies will do battle in the opener of a four-game home-and-home series Monday night. The AL West-leading Rangers have won seven of their last 10, and I like them to keep that momentum going here in the Rocky Mountains.

Cole Hamels (12-3, 2.89 ERA) takes the ball for Texas. He's 4-4 lifetime with a 3.21 ERA against the Rockies, but he has their current members limited to a combined .184 batting average over 98 at bats. We can also note that Colorado is 1-7 in its last eight interleague home games vs. a left-handed starter.

Colorado turns to another left-hander in Tyler Anderson (4-3, 3.25). The 26 year old rookie has logged three straight quality starts (against Dodgers, Mets and Braves), but the Rangers' bats he'll see tonight will be something else as Texas is batting a major leagues-best .281 against southpaws this season and 7-3 in its last 10 interleague games vs. a left-handed starter.

The Rangers are 16-3 in Hamels' last 19 starts vs. a team with a losing record, and I think we're getting a great price on the better team with their ace on the mound tonight.
