could u provide some insight into picking Appier ..
I agree Texas sux .. they had had leads and both times Anaheim has come from behind .. but Appier's record against Texas is not good and he has lost last 7 games against Texas. True, this is not everything to figure into deciding the winner and loser but just wanted to know some of the reasoning u had.
Rogers is off of a 127 pitch outing, and the games prior to that had not pitched well. Appier is no great shakes. Both teams' bats woke up last night. 8.5 seems to low, and hopefully it is.
I am simply going with the better team. This year the Angels have owned the Rangers going 7-1. To me that's purely dominating. The Angels are playing like they believe while the Rangers are just showing up and hope to get a "W".
The Rangers are 9-20 on the road and the Angels are 18-12 at home.
Appier has dropped two straight. I know he is 0-5 career wise but I think he turns it around today. I think we get added incentive especially if the Mariners lose today.
That's just my opinion and wish you luck. Year to date in MLB on (4) Unit plays I am 11-3
