Minnesota at Texas

The Texas Rangers are on a free fall, and have dropped eight straight games. This is a team that has incurred more injuries, especially to their pitching staff, than any team in baseball and it is certainly catching up to them. Texas is now 7-17 over their last 24 games. Nothing has gone right as they have been out-scored 51-23 in the eight game skid or by 3.5 runs per game, so they have not even been competitive. Nick Tepesch is an unlikely source to stop the bleeding as he is 2-3 on the season with a pedestrian 4.38 ERA. The Rangers once stood tall at home, but are just 7-19 in their last 26 in Arlington. The Twins have taken four straight vs. a team with a losing record, and smell a win in this one. Play on Minnesota.
