Play: Money Line: 148 Texas Rangers
Free Pick on Rangers +
I really like the value here with the Rangers as a big home underdog against the Indians. Texas let one get away in yesterday's season opener. The Rangers jumped out to a 5-1 lead, but allowed 5 runs in the final 3 innings to fall 5-8. I look for Texas to bounce back in a big way at home against Cleveland, who is going to send out Carlos Carrasco.
I just feel that Carrasco is getting way too much respect here. He only threw 11 innings in spring training because of a shoulder injury and the birth of his child. I just don't see him being sharp and this is not the park or team you want to face without your best stuff. With that said, Carrasco hasn't had great luck against the Rangers in the past, as he's just 1-3 with a 5.73 ERA in 7 appearances against them.
Texas will counter with one of the more underrated starters in Martin Perez, who showed a lot of promise in his first full season back from Tommy John surgery in 2016. He was at his best at home, where he went 8-3 with a 3.24 ERA in 18 starts. Take Texas!
