Texas at Seattle

Fourth straight road game for Texas, part of a tough seven game trip. The offense misses their home park scoring eight runs in the last four games, losing twice as a favorite of -120 and -145. Texas has slipped to being mediocre on offense without Josh Hamilton, 16th in runs scored, 14th in OBP and 15th in slugging and batting average. Texas is favored here but going with their No. five starter, 24-year-old Nick Tepesch. He has only thrown 12 innings above Double-A in his career. Seattle is 13th in runs scored and split the last two games, beating Texas 3-1 as a +135 dog on Friday. This is their seventh straight home game. The home team is 4-0 in Gary Darlings last four games behind home plate, so grab the home dog. Play the Mariners.
