Detroit at Texas

It is always a tall task when taking on Justin Verlander, who has been a workhorse over his career, and a good one. The Rangers, however, also have a strong lineup, one that beat Jered Weaver here 13-6 for his only loss on the season. There is something else that has been strong about this Rangers team, as they have been the best team in baseball when rebounding off a loss, as they are 44-16 in their last 60 following one. Their good pitching doesn't usually get hit twice in a row as they are 44-13 when following a game where they allowed 5 runs or more. The Tigers have struggled in this spot at just 2-9 in their last 11 as a road favorite of -110 to -150, and Verlander has been the main contributor at 0-4. Play on Texas in this one.
