Minnesota Twins vs Texas Rangers: Moneyline
Free Pick: Texas -130 (4 units)
After yesterday’s win over Boston the Rangers currently hold a ½ game lead of the AL Wildcard race over the Boston Red Sox. They open a 4 game series tonight versus Minnesota. The Twins have struggled as of late, dropping 11 of their past 15 contests and have a poor road record of 23-34.
The Rangers send Tommy Hunter (5-2, 2.26) to the mound. Hunter’s numbers speak for themselves. Overall the Rangers are 4-1 in his last 5 starts and 4-1 in his last 5 starts of a series opener. He will be facing Francisco Liriano (5-11, 5.39) who managed to get his first win since July 4th last Wednesday versus Kansas City. I like the Rangers in this one because they are playing at home where they are 39-22 this season and are in the heat of a playoff race. Additionally, Texas is 13-3 in their last 16 contests as a favorite and 9-0 in their last 9 as a home favorite. Minnesota is 1-5 in their last 6 versus a team with a winning record.
Lay 4 units on Texas.
