Texas at Detroit

Texas won for us in the early game yesterday and dropped the late one. It was their first loss in seven games and only their third in the last sixteen! They are red-hot right now, averaging 7.1 runs per game over their last seven. They certainly have the starting pitcher disadvantage here but they have the better bullpen. Detroit is 25-14 vs. left-handed starters this season but they are a very mediocre 54-53 for -9.9 units vs. righties. Texas is 30-31 for +10.7 units vs. winning teams as they continue to get disrespected in the line-setting. Again here, we have tremendous value on a very hot team getting better than 2-to-1 odds vs. a team they have shown they can beat. The Rangers have won 8 of the last 14 games played here in Detroit including two of three this season.
