Chicago at Texas

The Rangers have played one of the toughest schedules of any MLB team so far. Things don't get easier as Texas is hosting the Cubs, who have won 10 in a row. But there is reason to back the underdog home Rangers. The Cubs have a lifetime losing record at Texas. Chicago starter Edward Cabrera has surrendered five homers in his last three starts. The Cubs could have the most depleted bullpen in the majors with seven relievers on the injury list. They don't have anyone with more than two saves this season. Texas starting pitcher Jack Leiter has run hot and cold. But he is averaging an impressive 10.2 strikeouts per nine innings. The Rangers' band of unsung relievers has compiled the majors' lowest ERA at 2.93. The next-closest bullpen ERA is the Yankees' at 3.18. Take the Rangers.
