Fausto Carmona has electric stuff, and at times he has a difficult time harnessing it. When he is on, he is nearly impossible to hit as witnessed by his first start where he allowed just one hit over six innings of work. Rich Harden can be equally tough, but he struggled lasting less than four innings in the opener while walking five. The Rangers had all kinds of problems in anticipated low-scoring games at just 8-22 to a posted total of 7-8.5, including 6-17 on the road. Now they are asked to win by 2 runs to cover the runline in the same situation, so the value swings to Cleveland here, who I'll back on the runline.
