MLB
Texas (Ogando) at Boston (Lackey) (-125) 7:10 ET
5* Texas (Ogando) (+115)
In this matchup, the Rangers were embarrassed last night losing in Boston 17-5. Nonetheless, Texas still holds a dominant 11-4 series edge and is 10-4 in the series at that site. The Boston outburst lifted their recent record to 14-6 and improved their league leading offense to a .272 BA and 5.2 RPG. But the Rangers have been the most resilient team in MLB in recent years. Texas is now 95-56/loss L3Y including 15-6 this season outscoring the opposition 103-58. Look for the Rangers to get a huge piece of Lackey. Though the big right hander has pitched a bit better this season, Texas has lit him up his entire career. In 37 starts against Texas, Lackey has a 6.14 ERA including 0-2 with an 8.10 ERA his last 2 starts. Ogando went on the DL May 15th with bicep tendonitis. Prior to that, he was in good form with a 2-0 record and 2.55 ERA in his previous 3 starts. That stretch included allowing 1 run in 6 IP of a 5-1 victory vs. Boston.
Rangers bounce back as underdog!
