The Texas Rangers used to have a fearsome attack, but that is becoming something that is now in the rearview mirror. The Rangers' offense has struggled all season. The Rangers' bats have been silenced when they are playing as an underdog on the road this season, plating just 3.7 runs per game in this role, and own just a 13-25 record. That has been even worse of late where they are just 2-13 in their last 15 games as a road dog. Cleveland has stayed in the Wild Card chase because they have done a good job at home at 10 games over the .500 mark, and with a win today they will move their overall record back to .500. The Rangers' road woes are well noted, dropping 17 of their last 21, and Cleveland has not been a place for them to get healthy, losing by 5 runs per game on average in their last four here. Cleveland has a distinct advantae on the mound in this one as the ERA differential between these starters is about 4 runs per game. Texas has gone 4-24 in their last 28 games to a posted total from 9 to 10.5, and stand at 16-43 in their last 59 as a dog. The Indians have claimed a 23-6 record in their last 29 as a favorite from -151 to -200, and when the Rangers are playing to a total of 9 to 10.5 on the road, they have been 12-5-1 to the UNDER in their last 18, as well as playing six of their last seven to the UNDER when following a loss. The Tribe is 22-10-2 to the UNDER in their last 34 at home to a total of 9 to 10.5. Back both Cleveland and the UNDER in this one.
