Detroit is starting Boyd in this game who has allowed 4+ earned runs in 4 of his last 8 starts. Boyd is 5-5 with a 5.37 ERA on the season. Detroit is 24th against left handed pitchers with a .694 OPS.

Texas is starting Heaney in this game who is 5-4 on the season with a 3.98 ERA. Heaney has allowed 3 or fewer earned runs in 8 straight starts including 4 starts where he allowed 1 or 0 earned runs. Texas is 2nd against left handed pitchers with a .822 OPS.

Texas won two of the three games against each other so far this season including 5-0 and 10-6. I like a beatdown by the Rangers in a multiple run win in this one.

Pick: Texas Rangers -1.5
