TEXAS -140 over Chicago White Sox
Great spot here for the Rangers, who send Cole Hamels to the hill. Not only is the veteran 4-0 with a 2.68 ERA, but he has been exceptional on this field as the Rangers have gone 9-1 in his last 10 home starts. What's more, the ChiSox have struggled against left-handers. Overall, the team has been one of the biggest surprises in baseball with a 23-11 record but it is just 3-4 against southpaw starters. Look for Hamels to go deep again and not allow the pitiful Rangers bullpen to blow it.

Blazers +13
Portland is down and out in this series, but they have played well on offense. This team has jumped out to nice leads in the last few games and I expect more of the same tonight. Sooner or later the Warriors run will come to knock the Blazers out of this game, but I think this comes down to the final frame and 13 in my opinion is a bit too much.
Phillies/Braves Over 7.5
Pitching is going to be a problem tonight. The Braves recalled Perez today, but he has been nothing short of awful with his control. Eickhoff for the Phillies has struggled his last few starts and these bullpens are below average this year. Look for the ball to come off the bat well in these conditions tonight.
