Line good to -115
Not sold on Texas just yet as this team has been struggling at the plate. Texas has scored 3 runs or less in 5 of their last 7 games. Michael Lorenzen goes for Texas and he has been living on borrowed time in my opinion. He has only allowed 3 runs in his L2 starts but his K/BB ratio is a horrid 11-8. You can’t keep walking that many hitters and not have bad things happen. Hunter Greene goes for Cincinnati and I like what I saw from him last time out. He went 7 innings allowing 4 Runs while striking out 6 and only walking 2. The 4 runs he allowed were scattered over 4 one run innings. I expect an even stronger effort today.
KEY STAT: CINCINNATI is 16-6 against AL West opponents over the last 2 seasons
