Tip Detail

Sport	MLB
Event	Texas Rangers vs Seattle Mariners
Selection	Texas Rangers
Strength	10/10
Date	14/05/2008
Bookmaker/Price	Betfair @ 1.88 (Back)
Reasoning	Mariners are 15-39 in the last 54 meetings in Texas and 0-5 in the last 5 meetings overall. Rangers pitchers have allowed three or fewer runs nine times in their last 13 games and Texas have won 11 of 14 overall and six consecutive series. Mariners lost 5 in a row and they are 1-10 in their last 11 vs. a team with a losing record and 0-7 in their last 7 road games. Pitchers: Mariners' starter Carlos Silva (3-2, 4.33 ERA) has lost his last two starts, allowing 12 earned runs in just 10 innings over that span. Rangers' starter Scott Feldman (1-1, 4.07) allowed just two singles in six innings of a 4-0 win over Oakland Friday, earning his first career win as a starter. So, Texas is a big favorit for me. Good luck
