This is a Free #MLB play on NYY@TEX to go OVER the total.

The New York Yankees went off last night, scoring 21 runs in a rout over Texas, and I think we could see another slugfest in Arlington tonight.

Masahiro Tanaka will toe the slab for the Bronx Bombers, and he's undefeated in his last five starts. Tanaka (7-3, 3.64 ERA) allowed three runs on five hits over 7 2/3 innings in a home win over Baltimore his last time out. He surrendered three home runs in that game, and he's given up multiple home runs in four of his last six starts. He was rocked for six runs on seven hits in just five innings in a loss to Houston in his last start away from Yankee Stadium.

The Rangers hand the ball to Colby Lewis, who is coming off back to back wins. Lewis (10-4, 4.49 ERA) allowed two runs on five hits over 7 2/3 innings in a 4-2 win over at Anaheim his last time out. He was rocked for five runs on eight hits over 6 2/3 innings in a loss to the Yankees earlier this year.

The Texas bullpen ranks dead last in the major leagues with an ERA of 4.74.

Take OVER.
