The set-up: Seattle beat Houston 3-2 last night. The Astros are now just 28-28 and they haven't yet punched their ticket to the postseason. Now they face the Rangers, who have already been eliminated from contention, but who would love nothing more than to play spoiler vs. the "cheating" Astros. And with their ace on the mound, I love the home side to do just that. The visitors hand the ball to Cristian Javier (4-2, 3.33 ERA) who comes in off a strong outing vs. the D-Backs on Saturday. Overall he's been great with a 48:17 K:BB, but I simply beleive that he's in the wrong place at the wrong time here.

The pick: Lance Lynn (6-2, 2.53) counters for Texas, who is tied for the MLB in starts (12) and who has gone at least seven frames in each of his last three starts, going 2-0 with a 2.14 ERA and 21 K's. I'm banking on Lynn delivering here and for the Rangers to use the "spoiler factor" vs. their cross state rivals as motivation.

This is a 10* SUPER-SHOCKER on the Texas Rangers.
