Tips and Trends
Texas Rangers at Cleveland Indians
Rangers (-$1.60, O/U 9.5 under -$1.15) Minus All-Stars Michael Young and Josh Hamilton, the Rangers are having trouble scoring runs, going 15 straight innings without a run. Young has missed the past four games with a hamstring injury. Hamilton is dealing with a pinched nerve in his neck that he suffered on Tuesday. He was batting .359 during his last 30 games before suffering the injury. Texas is 20-8 in its last 28 games as a favorite. The Rangers have defeated the Indians in five of the last six meetings. Rangers starter Tommy Hunter has been a nice surprise going 7-3 with a 3.14 ERA. Hunter beat the Blue Jays at home last Wednesday in his previous start, 6-4, allowing four earned runs and five hits in seven innings. The right-hander was tagged for two home runs. Hunter has been better on the road with a 2-1 record and 2.20 ERA.
The Under is 37-15-2 in Texas’ last 54 road contests.
The Under is 42-19-4 in the Rangers’ last 65 games versus a right-hander.
Key Injuries - Michael Young (hamstring) is questionable.
Josh Hamilton (back) is doubtful.
PROJECTED SCORE: 5
Indians: Right-hander Carlos Carrasco is hoping for a much better result in his second big-league start. Carrasco was shelled in his major league debut on Tuesday at Detroit. The Tigers got to him for six earned runs on nine hits – including three homers – and drew three walks in just three innings. “My biggest problem was my fastball,” said Carrasco, a right-hander. “My other pitches were wrong, the slider and the change, just not the fastball.” Carrasco was 11-10 with a 4.64 ERA in Triple-A Columbus this season. The Indians obtained him from the Phillies in the Cliff Lee deal. Closer Kerry Wood has a 2.45 ERA and 24 strikeouts in 18 1/3 innings since the All-Star break. The Indians are without Grady Sizemore, who is scheduled for elbow surgery and won’t play again this season. The Indians have gone under the past five times hosting Texas.
The Under is 21-7-1 in the Indians’ last 29 home games.
The Under has cashed 7 of the past eight times the Indians have been a home ‘dog.
Key Injuries - Grady Sizemore (elbow and groin) is out.
PROJECTED SCORE: 4 (UNDER - Total of the Day)
