RANGERS/ATHLETICS Under 8.5 -120 - Zito has yet to pitch to his Cy Young form of last year, but I look for him to pitch his best game of the young season tonight vs. an opponent that he has dominated. Oakland is a perfect 10-0 in Zito?s last 10 starts vs. Texas, and all 10 of those starts were Quality Starts, as Zito posted a 2.32 ERA with a 1.14 ratio over 66 innings in those outings. Thomson has now had 2 straight Quality Starts after getting bombed in his seasonal debut. He pitched very well in his only start vs. Oakland last season, allowing just 1 run on 7 hits in 6 innings. Also, the Under is now an excellent 22-10, 68.8% in Thomson?s last 32 starts.
