Texas had its 10-game winning streak snapped on Saturday as the Tigers pounded out four home runs, three of which came in the first inning, in a 9-3 win. It shouldn't be that easy against Yu Darvish, who is 4-2 with a 2.76 ERA this season, but Detroit has Miguel Cabrera back in the lineup, and he hit one of the homers yesterday. Matt Boyd had a rough outing his last start, but he had put together three quality starts in a row before that, and he pitched seven shutout innings in his only appearance against the Rangers last year. Detroit has won six of its last eight home games against right-handed starters. Also, the Tigers are 8-2 UNDER after a win while the Rangers have gone UNDER in five of Darvish's last six starts. In addition, Texas mysteriously is 63-31-7 UNDER its last 101 Sunday games dating to the last few seasons. Play the Tigers and the UNDER.
