Result: Win
T.M. Selection: Rangers (+1.5) 10* MONEY-MAKER.

In a game which I see being decided late or in extra frames, I'm going to lay the reasonable price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance. Tyler Ivey (0-0, 0.00 ERA) makes his big league debut here for the Asros. Over 6.1 innings in two minor league starts, he's conceded five earned runs. He'll go against Rangers' ace Kyle Gibson (3-0, 2.32), who comes in off another strong outing, allowing two runs off four hits with three K's in an unfortunate no-decision vs. these very Astros last Wednesday. Over 54.1 innings of work, he has a sharp 44/17 K/BB. As stated off the top, I think the outright is possible, but I'll lay the price for the extra 1.5 runs!

T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Texas.
