(MLB) Texas vs. Toronto, 10/09/2015 8:45 AM, Score: 6 - 4
Point Spread: 1.50 | -130.00 Texas (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Texas Rangers +1.5.

The Texas Rangers upset the Toronto Blue Jays in yesterday's ALDS opener and they're looking good to at least cover the runline Friday as well.

Cole Hamels (13-8, 3.65 ERA) will toe the slab for the Rangers making his first start against the Blue Jays for the season. It's a good spot for Hamels though who posted a 3.17 ERA in day-games during the regular season and went the distance while conceding only two runs on three hits in a 9-2 win against the Halos his last time out.

The Blue Jays hand the ball to Marcus Stroman (4-0, 1.67 ERA) who's impressed since coming back from an ACL tear in his left knee, posting a 1.67 ERA over four September starts. Yesterday's loss puts a lot of pressure on the inexperienced 24 year old who's in his mere second year in the big leagues though, and Texas has the firepower to hurt the best in the business, so why not young Stroman.

The Rangers have won 10 of Hamels' last 11 starts while the Blue Jays are 2-5 in their last seven at home when facing a left-handed starter.

Take TEX.
