Tampa Bay at Texas

Tampa Bay is in danger of falling out of first place for the first time this season as it has lost nine of its past 12 games, including 7-2 to the Rangers on Monday when Pete Fairbanks threw a wild pitch and let in the winning run in the ninth inning. The Rays are only three games over .500 on the road and Texas is 31-18 at home, winning four in a row while allowing only 11 runs. Nathan Eovaldi is having a career year with Texas as he owns a 10-3 record, 2.83 ERA and 1.02 WHIP, and he has a .200 opponent batting average in home games. Taj Bradley has a 5.43 ERA for Tampa Bay and he has been clobbered for 16 runs on 22 hits his past 12 1/3 innings and the Rays have lost his past three starts. Take the Rangers.
