Line: New England Revolution at Sporting Kansas City – view these lines
[sc:Soccer240banner ]Sporting Kansas City finally halted their run of four-straight losses with a 4-0 win against Chivas USA on September 13. Star stiker Dom Dwyer opened up the scoring with what would be the decisive goal. Dwyer has scored in his last three games.
However, the Kansas City striker won’t be the only one sporting a hot boot on the pitch. The New England Revolution’s Lee Nguyen has scored five of his team-leading 13 goals during the Revs’ five-game win streak from August 24 to September 14.
Writer’s Prediction
Sporting Kansas City score the lone goal in this contest.
Oakland Athletics vs. Texas Rangers (8:05 PM ET)
Line: Oakland Athletics (-170) at Texas Rangers (+150); total 8.0 – view these lines
The Texas Rangers dealt the Oakland Athletics a third-straight loss on Thursday. They are 9-1 in their last 10 games, including a 2-1 series win against the majors-best Angels. Texas also outscored the A’s 19-6 in a 3-0 series sweep on September 16 to 18. Meanwhile, the Athletics have not lost more than three-consecutive games in September as they’ve floundered just slowly enough to hold onto an AL Wildcard slot.
Yet, they’ll need starter Scott Kazmir to pitch a gem if they are to come out with a win tonight. Kazmir is winless in his last six starts and was hammered by Philadelphia for six earned runs on September 21.
Writer’s Prediction
There are no hotter underdogs than the Texas Rangers. Take them to continue their streak.
