g a pair of team options as well."In the wake of the Patrick Corbin signing in Washington Sonny Gray Jersey , the Diamondbacks made their own major league pitching acquisition. The Diamondbacks have signed right-handed pitcher, Merrill Kelly to a potential four-year pact. The breakdown of Kelly’s deal is as follows:The 2019 salary is $2M and 2020 is $3M. The 2021 option is for $4.25M with a $500K buyout and the 2022 option for $5.25M with no buyout.For long-time Arizona State fans, they might recognize the name. Kelly’s last moment of prominence was when he was drafted out of Arizona State University in the eighth round of the 2010 draft by the Tampa Bay Rays. Kelly never did make it to the majors there. In 2015, Kelly went overseas to Korea, where he has pitched in the hitter-friendly environment for the last four seasons as a starter with a relative amount of success.Rumors state that Kelly was being scouted by many teams for a return to the bigs in 2019. It seems the Diamondbacks wanted to make sure they were able to get their man before other, bigger-market teams had a chance to finish their business in the winter meetings, possibly leaving the Diamondbacks without their target.Although Kelly was a full-time starter in the KBO, it seems highly unlikely he will be more than a middle reliever for the Diamondbacks.More about Kelly can be found in this article from the other day at DRays Bay The Twins will use their bullpen early and often as they attempt to utilize an "opener" to start the game for the first time this season.The Rangers will send out one of their young arms -- Yohan Mendez -- who has been efficient in has August starts in the minor leagues.Betting odds: Minnesota Twins at Texas RangersOver/Under: 11.5First Pitch: 3:05 p.m. ETProbable Pitchers: Gabriel Moya (3-0, 4.73 ERA) vs. Yohander Mendez (0-1 Luis Severino Jersey , 14.73 ERA)Zylbert’s 2018 MLB Over/Under Betting Record: 88-58-4, +23.85 unitsYesterday’s Result: Blue Jays-Marlins Under 7.5, Estrada vs. Chen (loss)*Each bet graded as if it were to win 1 unitAs usual, our bet went down to the wire last night in Miami, but unfortunately fell short with two outs remaining. Let’s just try to get that back right here.I’ll admit, this is a pretty shaky over/under The two starters entering today’s series finale between the Twins and Rangers have combined for one career start — and it wasn’t a good one, either.That lone start belonged to Yohan Mendez in June, one of the better pitching prospects in the Rangers organization. He looked like anything but a promising youngster after getting roughed up for six runs on six hits, including a homer http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-giancarlo-stanton-jersey , in just three innings.Even so, as a Rangers fan, I’m a believer in this Mendez kid and think he could contribute a positive outing this afternoon. For one, he’s looked better more recently in the minor leagues, yielding three runs or fewer in four of his five August starts.Additionally, Minnesota isn’t very good against left-handed pitching, ranking 23rd in the majors in team OPS with a southpaw on the mound, registering a .684 mark.The Twins rank second-to-last in the American League in home runs versus lefties, doing so once every 42 at-bats. Not only that Aaron Judge Jersey , they strike out once every 3.83 at-bats against left-handers, which could enable an opening for Mendez to find success.Meanwhile, Gabriel Moya is getting set to make his first-ever major league start, and while it’s not in the most ideal situation in hitter-friendly Texas, the 23-year-old southpaw is still capable of giving us something solid to begin the ballgame, since he’s serving as Minnesota’s “opener” here.Like the Twins, Texas whiffs at a relatively high rate versus left-handers, striking out once every 3.85 at-bats. Moya averages nearly one strikeout per inning, so this is something he can capitalize on Gleyber Torres Jersey , especially with the Rangers ranking in the top-five in punch-outs overall.From there, it will be Zack Littell who is summoned to work as the club’s primary pitcher.While he did not look sharp in his first taste of the big leagues earlier this summer, the former 11th-round draft pick has seemingly settled in based on his most recent work in the minors. In the last month and change, Littell held the opposition to three earned runs or fewer in six of his last seven assignments.Perhaps the biggest tipping point in our favor might be the lineups for this finale that are missing some heavy lumber.For the Twins, Miguel Sano, Joe Mauer and Tyler Austin are all absent from the batting order, while the Rangers are missing Joey Gallo.Play: UNDER 11.5 (-110)
