Saturday MLB Picks: Two AL Playoff Contenders Worth Backing | Deadspin.com
xCruzo Brief
Saturday’s MLB slate centers on AL West rivals tied at the top, with Texas hosting Toronto and Houston facing Atlanta after a 6-2 loss Friday. The betting preview highlights a potential spot for the Blue Jays, noting Toronto (76-78) has lost five straight matchups versus the Rangers this season and was beaten 7-1 on Friday. Texas will start veteran right-hander Cal Quantrill, with the Rangers reportedly 5-1 in his last six starts and using a lineup backed by walk-rate metrics. Toronto counters with Jose Soriano, and the piece points to recent results and late scoring by Texas as part of the rationale for a back-and-break-through angle. Odds were cited from DraftKings.
