Just makes too much sense...

Gabbard +161 over Hernandez (betjamaica)

Gabbard 1st game of DL probably will only go 5 innings, doubt if Washington will push much more than that.

Bullpen for Texas last 5 games has been very good:

Bullpen ( Last 5 Games )
Date	Opp	IP	R	ER	ERA	H	BB	SO	HR	W	L	SV	BS
5/03/08	at OAK	3.2	0	0	0.00	0	2	4	0	0	0	1	0
5/04/08	at OAK	1.2	0	0	0.00	1	2	1	0	0	0	0	0
5/05/08	at SEA	5.0	0	0	0.00	1	0	4	0	0	0	0	0
5/06/08	at SEA	2.0	0	0	0.00	0	0	2	0	0	0	0	0
5/07/08	at SEA	2.0	0	0	0.00	0	2	1	0	0	0	1	0

Seattle hitting .230 last 10 going 2-8 in their last 10.

Hernandez coming off weakness and 18.5 pitches per inning on regular 4 days rest...should be hittable...

You would think Texas @ +161 equating to a 38% chance to win might be worth a shot...i give them a at least a 50/50 chance.

Jeff Clement is getting the night off tonight after striking out 13 times in his last 23 at-bats. Jose Lopez moves over to the designated hitter's spot while Willie Bloomquist plays second base. I'm sure Jose Vidro would be the DH against lefty Kason Gabbard if he was healthy. But he's still out with back spasms and this is the best the M's can do for a backup at the moment. Clement hits righties and lefties with fairly good numbers, so you know that his sitting has everything to do with performance.

"I think he might be pressing a little bit,'' Mariners manager John McLaren said. "He's trying to get his feet on the ground. They're making some pitches on him and he's pressing, so we'll just let him take a deep breath.''

It was bench coach Jim Riggleman who made the call to pinch-hit for Clement in the ninth inning last night, figuring the Rangers had gotten the better of him on consecutive strikeouts. McLaren had been ejected in the second inning and was watching the game on TV from the clubhouse, trying to pick up on something he could relay to hitting coach Jeff Pentland if need be.

"It looks like a lot of our guys are trying to do too much,'' McLaren said. "Last night, I thought we had a lot of wild swings. It could be a frustration thing. The game plan they had, they weren't applying it last night. I mean, Padilla throws so hard and when you try to do that little extra you're either going to miss it or you're going to swing and miss. It looked like, to me on TV, that they were swinging too hard and too wildly.''

negative for texas is ss micheal young is out....

 

[Destructor D]

Took Texas for 3* @ +165. Looking decent early, but the Ranges middle relief will need to hold a lead.

 

[BleedDodgerBlue]

Richie Sexson is back in the lineup tonight.

LOL.......

The pitch he got ejected from was way high, but over the plate. He's a little bitch anyway. Gabbard should have done more in the way of hitting him. And Sexon threw his helmet at Gabbard like a girl.

got the rangers +1.5. Hope we all cash.....
