It’s USF vs. South Florida tonight. Don’t get fooled like Elizabeth Moreau did by Pranknet and get the best sports picks.

Matt Rivers says your Friday comp winner is on the Texas Rangers +101 hosting the New York Yankees.

Phil Hughes certainly looked very good in the Minnesota series and has a promising upside overall but Arlington is a tough stadium for pitchers as we saw last week for the righthander and today I think he is in for it one more time.

I’m not deeming Colby Lewis as the next coming but the guy is alright and a lot more used to pitching in this hitters’ paradise. All in all these two hurlers are about even and one could look better than the other but my buck is on Lewis to be the more impressive guy tonight. As for the hitters nobody likes or respects Joe Girardi’s bashers more than I do as Arod and the fellas are extremely stout. But Mark Teixeira is out and to be honest with you right now I do believe that Ron Washington has the better lineup.

Josh Hamilton is a lefty that should be able to wreak havoc tonight like he has been doing pretty much all season long. Throw in Kinsler, Young, Andrus, Vlad, Cruz and the rest of this Ranger team in their home ballpark and I will gladly take the Rangers at home at this near pick-em price.

In four of the five games it’s been Texas looking like the clear cut better team. Take out that one inning in game one and this game is not even being played. I expect the Rangers to once again be the superior club as they smack Hughes around once again in the ALCS series clinching win.

The pick: Texas
