MLB Wednesday

Greetings Cappers,
Welcome to Arlington, Texas, Ameriquest Field. Rangers are above .500 rolling 7-3 last 10. Interestingly this stadium ranks 18th in park factor for the Rangers. This game will feature Oakland flame thrower Rich Harden vs Texas 2nd year big man 6'7" 240lbs Kameron Loe, he is coming off chest cold and though he pitched well against the A's in their last meeting he has yet to record a win. Series tied here 1-1 and both games was 1 run difference.
I will back 3-0 Harden and the visiting A's for the first half. Loe is still learning at this level and he will get schooled by one of the best in American League.

OAK First 5 innings -123 for 1 unit(L)

Harden goes out of the game at bottom of 4th with 1 run lead, but leaves bases loaded for Kevin Mench on hot streak. Kiko was no match and promptly gives up the grand slam. This is looking like a loser with time running out.
Too bad I didn't take the complete game as Oakland took the lead in the latter innings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's go to Anaheim where the recharged Tigers visit the Angels in bit of a slump. Big John Lacky who gave up too many walks against Oakland in his last outing will focus on taking down the Tiger batters. Maroth on the other side is sparkling. It's a day game and the air is warm in Southern California today, but this could still go down with very little runs. I'll count on the starting pitchers.

DET/LAA First 5 innings Under 4 +111 for 1 unit(Push)
Detroit error cost me the win.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Will persistence pay off?
Let's go to the North West where the White Sox are ready to take on the Mariners at Safeco. On the mound for the Champs Mark Buehrle and for the Mariners Jarrod Washburn. Mark has been hit at Safeco and Ichiro gives him trouble, but Wash has his own set of troubles with the White Sox line up.
In comparison Sox batter have the advantage over Mariners.
On the strength of the starters Buehrle is notch above Washburn and White Sox should take the early lead.

CWS -0.5 First 5 innings -102 for 2 units(L)

Washburn threw a gem. Buehrle was not good enough.
2-0-1 -3.27 units
