Just six days ago, Lance Lynn and Tommy Milone faced each other at Texas. The over/under was 11 1/2. Lynn pitched well in that game helping the Rangers win, 5-3.
But now the total is two runs less that what it was last Tuesday. The venue has switched to Seattle's T-Mobile Park, a better pitcher's park. But the two starting pitchers remain the same.
I contend the oddsmaker can't set a total less than double-digits when Milone is one of the starter's involved especially when opposing an over-the-hill pitcher coming off a season-high 120 pitches and backed by a terrible bullpen. That's how many pitches Lynn threw against the Mariners on Tuesday.
The Mariners have hit the second-most homers in the majors. Lynn has always been vulnerable to the long ball.
Milone, though, never is a bargain. I'm surprised he's even managed to crack a big league starting rotation again. He has a career 4.45 ERA against the Rangers in 11 career starts. Texas ranks No. 2 in runs scored.
The Over is 11-5-1 in the Rangers' last 16 road games, while the Over is 9-2-1 in the Mariners' past 12 home games.
