Tampa Bay at Texas

It is no secret that the Tampa Bay Rays are going to have issues scoring runs on a consistent basis. They have other issues now too, as the pitching staff and bullpen have allowed six runs or more in four of their six games. The Rangers bats are getting it done and have to be feeling good after pounding Angels ace Jered Weaver last night. The Rangers have allowed three runs or less in four of six, including a pair of shutouts. Aleki Ogando struck out ten, allowed no runs in 6.1 innings in his first start and should certainly limit the Rays pedestrian attack here at home. The Rangers have also produced a 62-29 mark in their last 91 at home vs. a righthander. The Rays, however, have dropped four straight behind Hellickson on the road. Play on Texas.
