Money Line: -126.00 Texas (Away)
Result: Win
Play: Texas Rangers
Rating: 8/10*
The Detroit Tigers won Saturday's matchup 9-3 but I like the Texas Rangers to claim the rubbermatch of this three-game series Sunday night. The Rangers hand the ball to Yu Darvish (4-2, 2.76 ERA) who is a perfect 6-0 with a 3.46 ERA in six career starts against the Detroit. The right-hander held the Phillies to on run on four hits with nine Ks through seven innings of a 5-1 win his last time out and Texas has won each of his last five starts.
The Tigers turn to left-hander Matthew Boyd (2-3, 5.18 ERA). The Tigers have lost each of his last four starts and he was torched for seven runs on eight hits through just 2 1/3 innings by Baltimore his last start. He's had trouble against the Rangers, going 1-3 with a 5.24 ERA in four career starts.
The Rangers had won seven straight meetings at Comerica Park prior to Saturday's defeat. The road team is 8-0 in umpire Jordan Baker's last eight Sunday games behind home plate.
