The Texas Rangers are now 5.5 games behind for the final wildcard spot in the AL. They host Cleveland tonight, who is four games behind. Texas drew first blood in this series last night with a 4-3 win. They will look to extend the momentum tonight behind Jack Leiter. Leiter has been mostly good over his last 10 starts, as he has not allowed any of the 10 opponents to score more than three runs off him. Logan Allen will oppose him. The Guardians have struggled with Allen on the mound as they are now 6-9 in his last 15 starts. Texas has been great at home as a favorite of -110 or more, where they are a glistening 31-10 on the season. I like Texas in this one.
