The dominance of the Texas Rangers with the sport betting lines and the AL West Division have been pretty surprising to MLB wagering handicappers and supporters. MLB wagering expectations were mixed for Texas this year as although they did better than anticipated with the MLB lines a year ago, ownership issues were a cloud on 2010.



The Rangers have been on the block for more than a year and have had to file for bankruptcy protection. There were crazy rumors and speculation about what would happen to the squad in sports betting and whether general manager and former pitching legend Nolan Ryan will still be included.

After a lengthy and at times tumultuous process Ryan was able to secure his place with the Rangers not only as general manager but also as a part owner. Ryan’s team pulled ahead of a late and ambitious bid by NBA Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban for charge of the team.

Ryan has become the first former competitor in the modern era to in fact own a considerable piece of a squad.

“Did I ever think I’d be in a position to be an owner of a Major League Baseball squad?” the hall of fame strikeout star said. “Not at all. But I never thought I’d throw seven no-hitters either.” Sports attorney Chuck Greenberg and Ryan got together for the winning bid. Greenberg will work as CEO and Ryan will work as team president.

Ryan only took a modest sip of champagne that was offered to him when the bid was stated at 1 AM. He was too tired to celebrate for much time.

The next step will be to secure the future of manager Ron Washington. Texas has been one of the top commodities in online baseball wagering all year. Washington, nevertheless, is focused on getting the Rangers into the playoffs.

Washington said, “I’m all about baseball.”

Washington had the Rangers well ahead of Oakland and Los Angeles in the AL West Division race and is in his 4th year on the job.

Texas was the only squad in the AL West to be safely over the .500 mark with the baseball lines and has been constant both at home and on the road this year.

Optimism now abounds with Ryan’s future secured, though the Rangers had their share of MLB betting skeptics.

Ryan is granted a good deal of the recognition for turning the team around with shrewd steps and making for a greater pitching staff.
