Texas at Cleveland

Texas is flying high after a three-game sweep at the Yankees, but this is still a weak all around team. Texas is playing its seventh straight road game and has Phil Klein on the mound with a 4.91 road ERA. The Rangers are 17-36 against a team with a losing record and 8-20 vs. the American League Central. Cleveland is fifth in baseball in on-base percentage and 4-0 as a home favorite. Shaun Marcum (2.31 ERA) has been a fine call up, off a win over the White Sox, 4-3, and the Indians are 50-17 at home against a team with a losing record. When these teams clash the Rangers are 3-14 in the last 17 meetings, including 0-6 at Cleveland. Play Cleveland.
