Bets being allotted for this game should follow the selection of betsfreebets.com and go with the Tampa Bay Rays as the free bet favorite. The Rangers have been led by three outstanding performers at the plate so far this season - Josh Hamilton, Vladimir Guerrero, and Michael Young. Hamilton currently leads baseball with his .355 average. Add to that the fact that Hamilton has 24 HR and 77 RBI as well. Then, you have Vlad Guerrero who also has his average above the .300 mark and leads the team with 86 RBI. Finally, Michael Young has been having an all-around outstanding season for the Rangers. Arguably the best defensive player on the team, Young continues to amaze opposing players and coaches with his dedication to the defensive side of the game while still being a credible hitter year after year. On the mound, another group of three players have more than held up their end of the bargain for the Rangers this year - Cliff Lee, C.J. Wilson, and Colby Lewis. All of the aforementioned should have a big impact come October, but against a great team like the Rays, at home, it is a little too much to ask. Go with the Rays for your free wager winner. Bets on the Rays this season have found a great deal of success, and it doesn't appear to be stopping anytime soon. With David Price having a Cy Young Award type season and Matt Garza finally bringing his game back around to respectability, it appears as though the Rays are primed and ready for a run at a World Series Championship. More importantly than the starters, however, has been the shut-down abilities of the bullpen. Rafael Soriano has proven himself to be one of the best young closers in all of baseball while former Texas Ranger Joaquin Benoit and Grant Balfour both have played major roles in getting winning bets for players betting online. The relief work of the Rays should be enough to get them past this daunting task in the Texas Rangers. Look for the free bet pick of the Tampa Bay Rays to win your bets on Tuesday night. As the season draws closer and closer to an end, the cream of the proverbial crop will really begin to rise. That is what is happening in the case of both of these teams. Both Texas and Tampa Bay are playing their best baseball of the season right now, and their continued success rests on the shoulders of players who have been in the heat of the Playoffs before and thrived on such pressure. This will definitely be an interesting game, but it will be one where the Tampa Bay Rays come out with the free wager win. |
