#916 ASA PLAY ON 8* Texas Rangers -1.5 on the Run Line (-115) over Oakland A's, Saturday at 7:05 PM ET - Action on pitchers here as we look for the Rangers to bounce back with big home win no matter who is on the mound in this one. However, we will mention that Texas is expected to send Andrew Heaney to start this one. Heaney had a rough first start this season but is now building momentum with back to back solid outings and he is supported by a very strong bullpen. As for Oakland, Shintaro Fujinami will be the likely starter for the A's here. He is 0-3 with an 11.37 ERA this season and the Athletics bullpen has a 6.54 team ERA this season to rank near the bottom of the majors! The Rangers bullpen has a 2.70 ERA and ranks a solid 3rd in the majors! We expect the Rangers to bounce back from yesterday's tight loss and crush the ball at home in this one. Oakland, before yesterday's upset win, had lost 7 straight and 13 of 14 games! 12 of the Athletics 16 losses this season have been by at least a 2-run margin. The Rangers had won 8 of 10 before yesterday's loss and Oakland has been horrid for much of this season. All the edges point to the home team and a big-margin win here and the Rangers dozen wins this season have had 11 of the 12 by a multi-run margin! Looking for a home blowout and we think we're getting some nice value with the -1.5 runs in this one at a price in the -115 money range with the Rangers. Lay it!
