Giants at Rangers Game 4 2010 World Series Picks, Predictions & Odds: With their Game-3 win at Rangers Ballpark on Saturday, the Texas Rangers guaranteed the 2010 MLB World Series would go to at least five games and in the process, inched to within a game of evening up the series. With a win on Sunday in Game-4, the Rangers will pull even with one more to play in Texas.
For Game-4, the Rangers will start Tommy Hunter who is 0-1 this postseason with a 6.14 ERA. The Rangers right-hander finished the regular season with a 13-5 record and a 3.88 ERA. Madison Bumbarner is scheduled to counter for the Giants. The left-hander had an 8-6 regular season record with a 3.11 ERA. This postseason Bumgarner is 1-0 with a 3.55 ERA.
Bodog.com lists the Rangers, with Hunter the starting pitcher, as -150 moneyline favorites versus San Francisco with a 9-run total. Giants backers are getting +135 ML odds, with Bumgarner the starting pitcher.
Hunter posted a 3.73 ERA during the regular season, but it hasn't quite carried into the playoffs. His longest postseason start has been just four innings, as he has allowed five runs over 7 1/3 innings in two starts.
Bumgarner is still a rookie but has fared well so far with a 3.55 postseason ERA. He lasted just 4 2/3 innings in his lone start in the NLCS but tossed two scoreless innings in relief in the Giants' clinching win in Game 6.
The Rangers won Game 3 as -165 favorites, while the six runs went UNDER the posted 8 1/2 run total. Colby Lewis allowed just five hits and two runs over his 7 2-3 innings of work in that Rangers victory. Jonathan Sanchez gave up six hits and four runs over 4 2-3 innings in that loss for San Francisco.
MLB Picks: I expect the Giants will win one game of the three played in Arlington. If that is to happen, then it will come today vice tomorrow when Cliff Lee gets a chance at redemption. My pick – Giants as a road underdog getting +135 odds.
