Toronto Blue Jays vs Texas Rangers Texas Rangers -1½+125
5* MLB Blowout of the Week on Rangers -1.5 +125
The Rangers are 18-11 at home this season and after back-to-back losses to the Jays, who are just 13-17 on the road, I expect them to bounce back big here. The Rangers are due for an offensive explosion after being shut out and I like their bats against the southpaw Romero who has an ERA of 7.16 over his last 3 starts. I also expect Millwood's dominance to continue. He is 3-1 with an ERA of 2.59 at home this season. The Rangers are 21-9 in Millwood's last 30 home starts and 5-1 in Millwood's last 6 starts as a home favorite of -151 to -200. The Rangers are also 6-1 in their last 7 home games vs. a left-handed starter. With as well as the Rangers have hit lefty starters this season, averaging 6.1 runs per game, I'll bet them on the run line here to gain additional value.

Minnesota Twins vs Oakland Athletics Oakland Athletics -130
3* Wednesday Night MLB Crunch Time Bailout on A's -130
The A's are rolling having won 7 of their last 8 games. I'll back them in this bounce back spot after getting crushed last night. The key is southpaw starter Dallas Braden. The A's have won each of his last 3 starts and he has posted an ERA of just 2.70 in those games. But here's the clincher: Minnesota is 0-10 in road games against left-handed starters this season. The Twins have really struggled against lefties this season. They are 0-4 in their last 4 games vs. a left-handed starter and 9-28 in their last 37 road games vs. a left-handed starter. Fade the Twins in this spot.
