3 Units on Texas Rangers +120 (Contreras - R, Drese - R)
I?m a little surprised to find the Yankees favored today. Jose Contreras has an ERA of 9.48 and has allowed five home runs while issuing nine walks in his last three starts. The Rangers are a very tough 15-8 at home. Ryan Drese has been a real bright spot in a very surprising Texas staff with a 2.83 ERA. The Rangers are 4-1 in the last five Drese starts. The home team is 5-3 this year with Tim McClelland behind home plate. The Yankees are only hitting .236 against right-handed starters. Texas is 12-2 this year as a home underdog to +150. They are 8-3 the last three years with Drese as an underdog to +150. Texas is 9-3 against teams with winning records in 2004 and 19-8 against right-handed starters like Contreras.
