No Hassles, No Hype Sports Picks

Our sports picks nailed Oakland at +160 two days and we provide a preview of the today’s match-up. The Oakland Athletics and the Texas Rangers have been battling for first place in the American League Western Division as they lead the Angels and Mariners by four games. The Rangers will be facing a right hand pitcher and whenever they do they have scorched the ball, especially at home to the tune of a .287 batting average. In complete contrast, the Athletics are only batting .214 against left hand pitching in which they will face this afternoon in the likes of C.J. Wilson. In his last thirty four and two thirds frames, Wilson gave up only seven runs twenty six base hits with an awesome earn run average of 1.82. Oakland’s Ben Sheets has not been himself at all this season. The right hander has surrendered twenty six runs on forty six hits in thirty six and two thirds innings.
