Cleveland at Texas

The tribe looked great early in the season, opening an eye-popping 30-15. Their fortunes have diminished greatly since, falling under the .500 mark after rising 15 games over early. Fausto Carmona is still shy of his 28th birthday and looked like he was going to be a hot property after his breakout season in 2007 where he won 19 games, and helped the Tribe best the Yankees in the playoffs. He appears to have been a one-year wonder, as the magic has transformed to injuries and loss of confidence. Since 2007 Carmona is just 32-47 for the Tribe, and having his worst year at 6-14. The Tribe is getting punished by winning teams at 2-10 in their last 12, and Carmona is at his worst vs. the AL West at 8-20. The Rangers are pouring it on in a favorites role now 38-13 in their last 51. Play on Texas in this one.
