Three of the last four meetings between these two have gone OVER, and Toronto has scored 26 runs its last four games while Texas has allowed 18 runs in four games. The Rangers' starting corps and relief staff are both suspect, and they send Cole Hamels to the mound today. Hamels is 1-1 so far this season and has allowed four runs in 10 2/3 innings. Last year, Hamels had a 6.63 ERA in day games and did not face the Blue Jays. Jamie Garcia goes for Toronto today, and he comes off a 5-10 season, including 4-5 with a 4.77 ERA on the road. The OVER is 7-2-1 the last 10 meetings at Texas, and the Rangers are 40-18-5 OVER their last 63 home contests against teams with winning records. Also, the OVER is 10-2-2 in Hamels' last 14 home starts versus winning teams. Take the OVER.
