Texas at Tampa Bay

Texas has a weak offense at #20 in runs scored, 22nd in baseball in on-base percentage. This is their fourth straight road game after a surprising sweep at Houston, but they are still 5-8 the last 13 games. The Rangers are 16-43 as an underdog of +150 to +200, and starter Nick Martinez is 0-8 as a dog of +150 to +200. Tampa Bay is home after a long road trip against tough division rivals and has won four of seven. Chris Archer is throwing like an ace with a 1.64 ERA, plus a sizzling 42-10 strikeout-to-walk ratio, and opponents are hitting just .176 off him. The Rays are 5-0 in their last five home games and they are 6-2 when facing Texas. Back the home team Rays.
