Matchup: Texas at Chi. White Sox
Time: 8:10 PM EDT (Tue)
Listed pitchers must go: (R) HARDEN, R vs. (L) BUEHRLE, M
Play: Chi. White Sox (ML -118)
The Rangers are in a slump right now. The pitching has not been especially good, and while they can still hit the baseball, the absence of power hitting Nelson Cruz is definitely important. Rich Harden hardly seems like the stopper to the losing streak tonight. Harden has only three quality starts, he has not been sharp lately and he's running into a White Sox entry that looked pretty good in splitting a road series over the weekend in Tampa. Mark Buehrle may also be a man on a mission tonight in his first start since that ridiculous incident last week that saw him ejected by umpire Joe West. Buehrle actually has a nice scoreless inning streak going and looks to have finally regained the form he had been showing for most of last season until his post-perfecto slump. I have no problem with the price considering the present team form and the starting pitchers, so the White Sox are the choice tonight.

Time: 10:05 PM EDT (Tue)
Listed pitchers must go: (R) PELFREY, M vs. (L) LeBLANC, W
Play: N.Y. Mets (ML -115) Solid Gold Play
The Mets were bombed out by the Padres on Monday night and continue to be a poor road team. But the one exception has been when Mike Pelfrey takes the mound. He's pitching terrific ball and the Mets are 3-1 in Pelfrey's road starts. With Wade LeBlanc crashing back to earth following an unexpectedly spectacular run and the Mets in the mood for some immediate revenge, this is the spot to grab the visitors. I'll lay the moderate price tag and go with Pelfrey and the Mets.

Texas is really struggling right now as the Chi Sox will tune them up tonight Tuesday. The Chi Sox Strong Lefty Mark Buehrle has an 11-4 record and 3.02 ERA vs. the Texas Rangers. The Rangers are a terrible bet on the road as the Rangers CAN'T SCORE. The Texas Ace Rich Harden (2-1, 5.14) has a 9+ ERA the last 2 games. Texas is a full fade team right now. With N Cruz on the "D L" and the Rangers not scoring runs we will play on the Chi Sox tonight

Like the Yankees, the Red Sox are typically overpriced. But unlike the Yankees, the Red Sox have not won enough to cover that price as they are just 16-13 this season at home, sitting at negative units. Against the runline, it's even worse as they are 10-19 for -6.4 units. John Lackey has put up a very pedestrian 5.52 ERA at home this season. Gio Gonzalez has been better than that, posting a 4.23 road ERA. In his last three starts, he's averaged 7.1 innings and put together a great 2.53 ERA. Sure, the A's have batting problems but Boston is just 4-15 vs. the runline this season vs. AL teams hitting .255 or worse. I like Oakland to keep this close.

Boston Red Sox -155
The A's are at the tail-end of a long road trip and really are not that good away from home or at night. Oakland does not average enough runs per game to win against a quality pitcher like Lackey. Look for the Red Sox to get a convincing home win. Take Boston.
